I think this thread would be boring for sage-flame too. If you are unwilling to contribute to SAGE software because someone/anyone could sell it, then I think you are misunderstanding the GPL..
I have repeatedly suggested to students who wanted to "commercialize" software that was essentially a system to "do math", that they would be better off doing something else. For example, writing software for dental hygienists. There are way more of them than mathematicians, they probably wouldn't be such whiners. http://www.bls.gov/ooh/math/mathematicians.htm http://www.bls.gov/ooh/healthcare/dental-hygienists.htm If Wiliam is doing SAGE for pleasure,sure. If he is doing it for money, that's not a great plan. Rjf On Tuesday, February 16, 2016 at 9:37:03 AM UTC-8, kcrisman wrote: > > Hi.
