TOMS codes and the ACM



It seems to me that Maxima is not commercial
and therefore ACM routines can be used. But I am not
a lawyer.

who is going to complain, ACM who doesn't even respond
to email?
My understanding is that if they don't complain within
2 years, the common law interpretation is that they
have no objections. But I am not a lawyer..
