Well it's written in Lisp, so "copied and translated" is not the easiest thing.
But yes, I think this is a good idea, especially for the parts that are not in Bronstein's book, like the algebraic part of the algorithm. The implementation in Axiom may very well be the best place in the literature for those parts of the algorithm. Regarding FriCAS and OpenAxiom, I don't know much about that. My understanding (which could be completely wrong) is that the old code that has the deep mathematics, like the Risch algorithm, is not really touched much, because so few people can understand it, so I wouldn't be surprised if that part is the same in either.
