Hello:
One person from the math dept here asked me if he
could post a copy of maxima to a local web server
here. I explained the GPL and answered his question.
However, it appears that unless you know the GPL,
as many teachers don't, this question is not answered at
http://maxima.sourceforge.net/faq/faq.html.
It seems reasonable to me to add a question like
Q. I'm teaching a course using maxima. Can I post a copy of
maxima to a local webserver for my students to easily download?
A. Yes you can distribute Maxima, provided you keep the copyright notice
intact.
This probably needs some wordsmithing but something along these
lines would help some people.
Just a suggestion.
Note: some questions are still unanswered:
