Any tangable "creative work" is copyrighted by its author in all countries which obey the Berne convention. In the US you can revoke copyright by stating you are putting the work in the public domain. This notion does not exist in some other countries, so it is best to just keep the copyright and then release your contribution under a license consistent with the other contributions. Some people prefer to use the modified BSD license for their code, which is fine too. This allows us to redistribute your code and modify it (for example, in case you quit the project and bugs are found down the road). > > On Apr 14, 9:45 am, mabshoff dortmund.de> wrote: >> On Apr 13, 4:40 pm, Rolando wrote: >> >> Hi, >> >> > Is it possible to make a contribution of code to Sage which has no >> > license and no copyright? >> >> No, it should be licensed in a GPL V2+ compatible way. >> >> > The Sage Programming Guide seems to suggest that copyright should be >> > given to yourself and William Stein. >> >> No, you should retain copyright yourself, there is no reason to give >> copyright to William. >> >> Cheers, >> >> Michael > > > --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ To post to this group, send email to sage-support@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to sage-support-unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-support URLs: http://www.sagemath.org -~--~~~~--~~--~--~---

No, you should retain copyright yourself, there is no reason to give copyright to William.

[sage-support] Licensing and copyright of sage contributions
Is it possible to make a contribution of code to Sage which has no license and no copyright? The Sage Programming Guide seems to suggest that copyright should be given to yourself and William Stein. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ To post to this group, send email to sage-support@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to sage-support-unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-support URLs: http://www.sagemath.org -~--~~~~--~~--~--~---

I did the install the same as on the test machine. I copied this with Apple Remote desktop.

Binary did work before I copied it. A version of sage was already installed on the systems. When I copied it over the older version of sage was deleted first. This worked w/o any issues on the first test machine I did this on. Is there any documentation on how to set the variables.

[sage-support] Re: Sage 3.4 Installation on OS X 10.5 Errors
I didn't set the sage root variable. I looked through the documentation. Didn't seem to find how to do this. So, how do you do you set the root variable? I haven't set up any other variables for Sage. As, far as the details I copied the sage folder to the clients OSx 10.5. This is a computer lab, but it is a stock install of the os, Thanks, Eric On Mon, Apr 13, 2009 at 12:01 PM, mabshoff < michael.absh...@mathematik.uni-dortmund.de> wrote: > > > > On Apr 13, 9:57 am, kaufma wrote: > > Hi, > > > I am updating sage on OSX 10.5 lab machines.

That is a bug due to -bdist, but it is independent of your problem.

[sage-support] Sage 3.4 Installation on OS X 10.5 Errors
I am updating sage on OSX 10.5 lab machines. I downloaded .dmg file then I copied the sage folder over to all of the workstations. I get the following message when I try to open Sage. You must compile sage first using the 'make' , in the sage root directory. (If you have already compiled Sage, you must set the Sage_Root variable in the file './sage"). I did try to run the make command in the root of the sage folder and got allot of dependency dropped errors and a error 127. Any ideas would be appreciated.
