The supreme court ruled that you cannot patent or copyright an algorithm, but you can copyright a program. I am not a
lawyer but I would say just don't copy the code verbatim.

I am not a lawyer, but I think that
If you wrote a program in Mathematica, you own it.
If you run a translator that makes it into a program in Maxima, you own
that.
Wolfram does not own the translation.

I think that creating a derivative work, such as a translation from
Mathematica to Maxima is copyright by Mma, so who to sue in case of
problems?
