No, not that I'm aware of.

A possible issue for packaging is that imaxima relies on the breqn
LaTeX package.  breqn is available for download from the AMS, but it
doesn't include any license or copyright statements.  

I guess because the author (Michael J Downes) considered it
experimental -- so it wasn't put on CTAN and given the usual LaTeX
license boilerplate.  Sadly Michael died last year, which makes
clarifying the license issue a bit difficult.

Maybe the AMS holds the rights, since he was employed by them doing
TeX development.
