You can do your own free trademark search, and you can also try to get a trademark for $159. There appear to be something like 50 uses of SAGE as a trademark, at least some of them for software, software and education, software and engineering. I am not a lawyer. On Wednesday, May 30, 2012 8

[X ] Make it standard at some point in the "near" future. Argument: Sage includes many interfaces to standard software. This includes software that the majority users will never use in their lifetimes, e.g. the big M's (unless at a mathematics department or institute where there exists a license)

It also occurred to me that if there are (other) Gap packages which we cannot dirstribute with Sage for licensing reasons, an alternative would be to create a Sage spkg for those and submit it to the Gap project for them to dirstribute (or at least have on their web page), so that people could get
