Linus QuoteWhat is SAGE?Technology OverviewHistory and Status Report’’I think, fundamentally, open source does tendto be more stable software. It’s the right wayto do things. I compare it to science vs.witchcraft. In science, the whole systembuilds on people looking at other people’sresults and building on top of them. Inwitchcraft, somebody had a small secret andguarded it -- but never allowed others toreally understand it and build on it.Traditional software is like witchcraft. Inhistory, witchcraft just died out. The samewill happen in software.’’ -- Linus TorvaldsWilliam SteinSAGE: Software for Algebra and Geometry Experimentation
