If I understand the implications of GPL, you are free to create another program, perhaps calling it Mathxy, and import all the code from Sage into it, as long as it too is GPL. Also, if someone (William, perhaps) decided to change the name to Mathxy, you could create another program, calling it Sage and import all the code from Mathxy. Such things have happened: The Axiom system exists in two forms (at least): OpenAxiom and FriCAS. I repeat, I am not a lawyer, and any opinion I might have about trademark etc might be quite irrelevant to legal reality. -- To post to this group, send an email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to sage-devel+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URL: http://www.sagemath.org
