MuPACS (mupacs.sf.net) is an open-source MuPAD mode for the text
editor emacs,
Is it free software? Most "open source" software is free,
but there are a few exceptions. (What license does it use?)
MuPAD (www.mupad.de) is a computer algebra system which is (alas) not
free software. However, mupacs is now also used as a front-end for
running the free computer algebra system GIAC
(http://www-fourier.ujf-grenoble.fr/~parisse/giac.html).
How about if we change the name to inf-giac, and delete the text that
mentions MuPAD? A project that doesn't respect our freedom does not
deserve our help or cooperation.
