    MuPACS (mupacs.sf.net) is an open-source MuPAD mode for the text
    editor emacs,

Is it free software?  Most "open source" software is free,
but there are a few exceptions.  (What license does it use?)

    MuPAD (www.mupad.de) is a computer algebra system which is (alas) not
    free software. However, mupacs is now also used as a front-end for
    running the free computer algebra system GIAC
    (http://www-fourier.ujf-grenoble.fr/~parisse/giac.html).

How about if we change the name to inf-giac, and delete the text that
mentions MuPAD?  A project that doesn't respect our freedom does not
deserve our help or cooperation.
