If I try to write a math-tutorial (or some equivalent introductory text)
for college/high school students about SAGE basics, I sooner or later
arrive at a point to describe the basic of SAGE, say installation and
the use of the different modes (CLI or notebook ... etc.). The
handling of that topics are fixed by the implementation and the
predefined mode of SAGE implementation as well, so I see some problem of
plagiarism and of creative writing in the sense of intellectual
originality.
I never would claim that as my original work! But installation and UI
is a necessary step to use SAGE, (thankfully) predetermined by the
creators (or part of the features of implemantation or the underlying
language). I never would just copy and paste complete passages of a
manual, but such a description of fundamental concepts (installation and
UI) do have a degree of (creative) freedom close to zero!
My question: What is the proper way to describe such (necessary) basic,
predefined sage-components without breaking copyright and giving proper
credit?
For sure any doc/tutorial etc. must give reference to SAGE home on
different places of the SAGE document, so my request is just to avoid
trouble and to hear your attitude regarding this point.
