To me it seems like a good thing that someone else is maintaining SymPy Beta. SymPy Gamma and SymPy Live have both languished because the SymPy maintainers don't have the right skillset to maintain them. Also I might be wrong but as I understood it the reason for not upstreaming was just the difference in license but I didn't really see a change of license as a big deal. SymPy Gamma is not a library in the way that SymPy is so it doesn't need the same license. -- Oscar -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sympy" group.
