Dear Stephen, Since your positive sounding response
http://groups.google.com/group/fricas-devel/browse_thread/thread/1fe2046429277406 from January this year, I haven't heard of any news concerning a more libre license for Aldor. May I ask you again to consider my mail from September 2009? Thank you Ralf On 09/24/2009 11:38 PM, Ralf HEMMECKE wrote:
Dear Stephen, dear Mike
as you might know, I have built some scripts in FriCAS (a fork of Axiom) (http://fricas.sourceforge.net/) in order to build libaxiom.al from scratch. Unfortunately, I can neither distribute libaxiom.al nor some necessary .as files under the same license as FriCAS (mBSD), since this code is only available under the Aldor Public License 2.0. I hereby kindly ask you to release the following files under a BSD license (same as for the Axiom code). https://svn.origo.ethz.ch/algebraist/trunk/aldor/lib/libax0/axiom.as https://svn.origo.ethz.ch/algebraist/trunk/aldor/lib/libax0/axextend.as https://svn.origo.ethz.ch/algebraist/trunk/aldor/lib/libax0/axlit.as https://svn.origo.ethz.ch/algebraist/trunk/aldor/lib/libax0/stub.as https://svn.origo.ethz.ch/algebraist/trunk/aldor/lib/libax0/minimach.as https://svn.origo.ethz.ch/algebraist/trunk/aldor/lib/axllib/src/lang.as Furthermore, in order to distribute a precompiled libaxiom.al together with FriCAS, it would be helpful to also release $(ALDORROOT)/lib/libfoam.al(runtime.ao) under a BSD license. For 'runtime.ao', also releasing the sources under a BSD license would be good, but I explicitly ask for the release of the .ao format. Please help the FriCAS project and don't let Aldor die. Has meanwhile anything been done to release all of the Aldor compiler+library sources under a GPL-compatible license? Thank you for your time. Yours sincerely Ralf Hemmecke
