Reconsidering the GPL licensing of Maxima

i'm in agreement with albert's comments on this point.

essentially we need to be careful to avoid decisions based
on wishful thinking. the status of bill schelter's contributions
is not something we can change by fiat.

i'm not much worried about it, though. if indeed there is
corporate interest, there will probably be corporate lawyers
involved, and therefore, i believe, a careful evaluation of
the legal issues.

for what it's worth,
