Yes, they are *very* strong. One reason for this is that MuPad is free for
scientists in France, as far as I know. In fact, if MuPad became free, I think
there would be little to no space left for axiom.

I know Nicolas Thiery. I'm pretty sure he would love to help you.

It might well be, that Nicolas can negotiate this for you.
