That would certainly be very welcome from my perspective. It would
mean that maxima would have to be upgraded somewhat to understand
the kinds of things that tilu can return.
For example, Tilu can say that it found 3 answers to the question,
one of them requiring some parameter to be equal to some particular
value, but the other 2 answers presumably different but equivalent
forms.
Tilu incorporates some data that CRC Press presumably owns. The
program itself could be given out. I tried to give it to CRC press,
for example.
Publishers know about selling books. They don't know about programs.
