There's no use of Wolfram within 1st year lab. I do know some of my colleagues in Astro do/have used it, but we bought a specific copy of Mathematica for that so are legal and have not gone through a site licensing approach. I wonder if Wolfram might be put off if we were to say publicly that Imperial College was thinking of dropping them because of their intransigence? Dave On 13 Apr 2011, at 13:29, David Colling wrote:
Dear Computing Reps,
The Wolfram lawyers are being wholly unreasonable and so Jo asked me if we could possibly do without any Wolfram products in the department. I replied that whilst this would be fine for me (I have access via CERN) I suspect that many would not be able to work effectively without it. I did however, say that I would ask this group in case I was wrong. So, was I wrong?
All the best, david
