Yes. I guess my concern was to ensure that whatever was written, was legally covered by the GPL. I'd hate it to fall through a crack on account of me having not made attribution by the legally accredited technique. > > > A similar issue is likely to arise for portions of the NTL replacement > > library I am writing.... <snip> > Even a slightly modified version would be copyright both of you. I see. So copyright is kind of cummulative. > Incidentaly -- I'm really looking forward to fully integrating your > quadratic sieve into SAGE, but I haven't yet, since I have to implement > all other other stuff you asked for first :-). Thanks. I noticed it had disappeared from the road map, and wondered about that. I had planned to sort that out for you, this weekend. I sped it up more on SAGE by the way. It now runs at the same speed as on my 2 GHz Athlon, and that is with a highly questionable GMP installation that I am linking it with. I was going to write primality testing, trial factoring, power testing (which are all easier than I thought) and combine with GMP-ECM *and* run some very important tests, and sugar coat the output ready for use in SAGE, this weekend. But unfortunately two very, very nasty bugs in my Schoenhagen-Strassen code kept me working on that instead. David Harvey found one bug, the other took me a whole day to dig out.... Next weekend perhaps!
