John Venier asked (concerning a quadrature code I recently described):

I am not allowed to make it available. Until recently, CalTech and/or
NASA and/or COSMIC (the NASA software technology utilization organization,
now defunct I think) owned the intellectual property rights. If COSMIC
were still around, you could buy the entire Math77 library from them,
for an unreasonably large price.
> Could you be convinced to make it available via ftp, for example?
I cannot, but Fred Krogh now has the intellectual property rights in
this code, and indeed in all of Math77, the library that we developed
during the last thirty years. He is presently on holiday, but may
be reached at [log in to unmask] in late October.
For teasers, I've included the documentation, which is, as far as I
know, not subject to the same intellectual property rights.
Best regards,
Van Snyder
