"I'm all in favor for more funding for computer algebra research
(obvioulsy). Most funding of open-source/free computer algebra
research/development is funded (and hosted) by universities. This is
the case for SAGE, CoCoA, PARI. One notable excepion is AXIOM. It was
originally an IBM project and when it was open-sourced, it found
itself without a reliable source of funding. This is exactly the kind
of project that could benefit from some funding from the NSF."
