I don't think it's too baffling. The original code Bernard used in Giac is likely open source, which requires derivative products that contain that code to remain open source as well. HP clearly can't do that with the Prime, but hat's off to HP and Bernard for doing the right thing and not including it, thus respecting and preserving license integrity.

Yes, I now understand why it isn't included and I agree it was the right thing to do.

I meant to say baffling in relation to the resilience of HP against opening up or of at least give the option to open up the Prime to some degree, including the ability to use open source extensions, such as this case, developed by the community for giac/Xcas.
