I think implementing that function is definitely legal, as is distributing the resulting program. What would very likely not be legal would be to distribute both SAGE and Mathematica together as a single derived work of both. As long as the combining of SAGE and mathematica is down entirely on the user's computer, I doubt that there are any GPL issues. -- William -- William --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URLs: http://sage.scipy.org/sage/ and http://modular.math.washington.edu/sage/ -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
