As Rob pointed out, SageCell server was never closed source. SageCell server was an idea that Jason Grout and I came up with at a Sage Days a couple years ago, since we wanted to implement something very simple to test out some ideas involving scalability, robustness, etc., and all the attempts in a few days to redo sagenb.org properly (e.g., using a database, scalable, etc.) were mired in complexity. Jason Grout then took the ball and ran with it. I think the license of SageCell has always been BSD. > as you originally wanted to keep it. For the record, I personally do not like closed source and never "wanted" SageMathCloud to be closed. It was closed for two "dark years" because I was explicitly required to keep it closed by the university's commercialization office... > I expect it is a lot easier for someone to get permission > from their institution to host open source software than it would be if it > was closed source. I totally agree. Open source is better than closed source in sooooo many ways! I really love open source.
