The jurisdictional system isn't only based on technical descriptions, but also on the question which intentions are behind a deed and other considerations. Think about this: Somebody sticks a knife into someone else. What is this? It could be an accident, surgery or homicide. You have to collect facts and argue around to clear the situation. Additionally, judging a person for homicide doesn't imply that every such knife-sticking action is homicide. I think the same is true here. If you are building a program (as your primary intention) which is based on Sage you have to follow the rules of the gpl. If you intend to use Sage, not. Especially, because the user-guide explains how to use Sage this way. Also, I don't think distributing examples of code showing how to use Sage (teaching situation) could be a problem. The complication is, that technically the things are the same, but practically not. It's not a "left brain" only question ;) Therefore, I think we will never get a conclusive answer and also a lawyer doesn't help, since lawyers say what they are paid for by their clients. Each case has to be considered separately, brought to trial if necessary, etc... h --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ 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 -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
