Permision to provide a Sage software

[Francisco de Arriba]

We are trying to migrate to Jupiter, but while we can not solve some problems we want to keep a stable version of Sage on our server. This version will be available for downloading students and readers of our scientific articles. We know that Sage is a free open-source mathematics software system licensed under the GPL and we believe that we can provide our download link without any problems, but to be sure we wanted to consult it in this forum.

The software provided would be the same that is available on the web page and its use would be exclusively for students and people who have read any of our articles and are interested in accessing this software. We need this to make sure that a version is always available and that it will not be accessible in the future.

Is there a problem with the license that prevents doing this?

Thanks.

The license strongly **encourages** this. Go for it! I started
Sage 14 years ago so I could say YES to questions like this,
because with Magma I couldn't.

That is: NO, there is no problem with the license ;-) 

You can make and share copies of Sage, now and in the future.
