Harald, I don't claim to know anything about Google advertising, but it seems to me highly unlikely WRI have not targeted Sage. I can see your point Google declined you because Sage is a registered trademark, but it is quite possible another person at Google interpreted that differently. In any case, it was a spice well before any company used it as a name of a product. Also, how comes Maple ads come up when one searches for Mathematica? Maplesoft must have links using the trademark. There is also very little chance of any confusion over Sage the maths software and Sage the accounting software. Since a Google search on Mathematica brings up sponsored ads for Maple, I assume Sage could place an ad using Mathematica as a keyword. That would be interesting! --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to sage-devel-unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URLs: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
