Yes, Giac is dual-licensed. For example the HP Prime calculator is using Giac as CAS.

I don't like the idea to be dependent on the net and big datacenter but it's certainly possible to work on partially commercial projects without fearing anything on IP (but you must probably check the contract to be sure). > or this will be delayed until I buy myself a laptop with more than 2 > (reals) threads. > > whereas you could run your tests on a 100-core VM, for free... > So what? My current configuration is well adapted to Xcas and Geogebra user basis. I never saw big interest in the computer algebra and sage community in Giac : Opendreamkit has ignored Giac and spent part of its ressources to implement efficient polynomial algorithms that were already implemented in Giac, my Groebner basis code is not new code, it's there since more than a couple of years now. If I have an opportunity to test on a University server I'll take it, but I will not fight for that. If I don't have the opportunity, then I'll try on the next laptop I will buy when the current one will have to be replaced. There is no urgency. Maybe the situation will change in the future, then I may reconsider my priorities. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
