I think Sage would have a hard job breaking into the MATLAB strongholds in engineering. It is used to control a lot of instruments and data collection. Agilent, who are probably the world's premier test equipment manufacturer do not generally sell products like MATLAB. However, if you purchase an "eligible instrument" Agilent well sell a MATLAB license. http://www.home.agilent.com/agilent/editorial.jspx?cc=US&lc=eng&ckey=2001996&nid=-33330.781262&id=2001996 Perhaps Sage, linked into all the required open-source sotware could perhaps do everything MATLAB can. What it wont have what is acceptance in the industry like MATLAB does.
