Licenses aren't the issue. We can't include a Haskell program in Sage without including the Haskell compiler (buildable from source) in Sage. And there's no way we're doing that. We already have to deal with too many different programming languages, Sage is already too big, it already takes too long to build, etc. -- William > > On Feb 29, 6:33 pm, William Stein <wst...@gmail.com> wrote: >> On Wed, Feb 29, 2012 at 3:55 AM, mmarco <mma...@unizar.es> wrote: >> > Take a look at this: >> >http://www.molto-project.eu/node/1412 >> >> > It is a library that can translate natural language sentences to sage >> > commands.
