+Sage is a free open-source mathematics software system licensed under the GPL.
+It combines the power of many existing open-source packages into a common
+Python-based interface.
+
+Mission: Creating a viable free open source alternative to Magma, Maple,
+Mathematica and Matlab.
+
+This port is a work in progress. It creates a sage that is mostly functional,
+but it does fail a few tests. Suggestions for improvement to the maintainer
+are welcome.
