Context is important. The GPL doesn't say that every GPL'd interactive program must print a banner. It says that if such a banner is printed by a current GPL'd programs, then *if you distribute a modified copy*, that copy must also print the banner.
I would have thought many of the programs in Sage are modified in some way.
The "most ordinary manner of running Sage" isn't running a modified interactive GPL'd program. Looks to me like the closest we've got is iPython, which is BSD'd, so we don't need to print its banner. And the notebook is its own project, so it doesn't have to inherit anybody's banner either.
But would you not agree the notebook should state its GPL ? dave -- To post to this group, send an email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to sage-devel+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URL: http://www.sagemath.org
