Dear Stephen,
Since beginning of June 2012, the origo.ethz.ch site is closed.
This was the place with a copy of the Aldor SVN repository. The original
aldor.org SVN repository is not maintained anymore and down since long.
svn list https://aquarium.aldor.csd.uwo.ca/svn/trunk
svn: OPTIONS of 'https://aquarium.aldor.csd.uwo.ca/svn/trunk': could not
connect to server (https://aquarium.aldor.csd.uwo.ca)
Due to licensee reasons it is impossible to host the Aldor sources on
other free hosting places (sourceforge, github, etc.), since they only
allow free hosting for code under an OSI approved license.
My mail below (from more than 2 and a half years ago!!!), has now become
obsolete. :-(
It can only mean that you have declared ALDOR to be officially dead.

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
