     Going off on a tangent, do the copying conditions of COPYING1 still
apply (I assume so)?  I've got cvs-maxima running on a palm-sized PDA,
and it would be nice if the binaries could be made available.  However,
COPYING1 seems to impose redistribution conditions that I'm not
currently willing to manage (and might also conflict with the GPL, but
I'm not sure).

[ I'm also not sure how maxima can be made publicly available with the
  restrictions of COPYING1, but IANAL.  ]
