Yes, I agree completely with you, however some advices seemed to differ, a 
few months ago, cf. the threads "Maxima 5.9.0 Release candidate 3" (30/31 
october 2002) and COPYING1 (5 nov 2002). This is why I am asking the 
present status of Maxima, to know exactly if the file COPYING1 is still 
considered as valid or not, as it has not been removed. Its contents is:

"DOE requires the following paragraph to accompany the distribution.
It allows unrestricted export to most countries of the world, but does
prohibit exports from the US to certain countries such as Cuba or
Iraq.
"Distribution of this derivative work is subject to the US Export
Administration Regulations (Title 15 CFR 768-799), which implements
the Export Administration Act of 1979, as amendeded, and/or the
International Traffic in Arms Regulations, of 12-6-84, (Title 22 CFR
121-130), which implements the Arms Export Control Act (22 USC 2728)
and may require license for export."
