Well, I don't what are the chances, but I certainly wouldn't mind if
Google or someone else would invest the funds to buy the rights
to commercial Macsyma for the purpose of releasing it under GPL.
Maxima would probably benefit most from bug fixes to core functions
(integration comes to mind).
If you, Daniel, want to pursue this possibility, all I can say is: have at it.
