| So far, attribution hasn't really been a problem,
| since everyone who contributes is acknowledged - for
| example through the discussions around the code.
| Similarly, preservation is dealt with through the
| tools for source code management and the discussion
| lists. But there are crucial questions of long-term
| preservation - not least for historical purposes -
| which are not really being addressed, even by the
| longest-established open projects like GNU.

Eigenlabs to open source new music control protocol and API
,----[ Quote ]
| Eigenlabs is a start-up company founded by John
| Lambert in 2001 and based in Devon UK. In an
| interview on the Create Digital Music blog, Lambert
| said of the Eigenlabs software that it's "written in
| a mixture of C++ and Python. Itâs quite scary code,
| but very clean and pretty, with little âcruftâ. I
| think the open source community are going to have
| fun with it. Its a big system too, 8 years of R&D in
| one huge release. I donât think that thereâs been
| anything quite like this open sourced before in the
| music world â it is a bit as if Logic or Ableton
| were GPLâd tomorrow."

| Or consider SageMath. This is a GPL program that
| aims to replicate pricey programs like Mathematica
| and Matlab, using an interface derived from open
| source Python.
|
| What this delivers is transparency. Teachers and
| even kids can make additions to SageMath, learning
| Python in the process, and these improvements too
| go into a commons.

| I personally feel it is terrible to *train* students mainly to use closed
| source commercial mathematics software. This is analogous to teaching
| students some weird version of linear algebra or calculus where they have to
| pay a license fee each time they use the fundamental theorem of calculus or
| compute a determinant.

Sage 3.0.2 Review
,----[ Quote ]
| To conclude, I'd say that this software is suited to meet numerous needs, and
| not just those related to math and school. It may very well be used, for
| instance, to satisfy one's curiosity regarding a particular aspect, or it
| could be a great help for graphical developers who need a quick look at a
| certain function's 3D plot.

Sage: Insights into open source technology
,----[ Quote ]
| SAGE, which stands for Software for Algebra and Geometry Experimentation, is
| basically a free, high-level calculator.
|
| Like Firefox is an alternative to Internet explorer and Wikipedia is an
| alternative to Encyclopedia Britannica, SAGE is an alternative to Magma,
| Maple, Mathematica and MATLAB, according to the SAGE Web site.
