Axiom released as open-source software

Axiom has been released by Numerical Algorithms Group (NAG) as
open-source software, and distributed under a BSD-style license. The
project, now hosted at Savannah, is led by Tim Daly, who worked on all
aspects of the system since the beginning.

Axiom is a general purpose computer algebra system written in Common
Lisp. The project started in 1971 at IBM as a research system named
Scratchpad. Scratchpad was renamed to Axiom in the 1990s and sold to
NAG, which distributed it as a commercial product until 2001. Axiom is
a powerful system, which in the current state "represents about 30
years and 300 man-years of research work".
