I just learned of that, maybe it's interesting/new information for some on this list.

Well, it used to be "open" for some time already (with source code
available), but only under a "non-commercial" license. Now, it appears
to be truly free (as in: free to use for any purpose).

Anyway, as far as I can tell, there's no official announcement by
Microsoft Research yet. But one of the authors (de Moura) writes it on
his homepage: <https://leodemoura.github.io/>. My uneducated guess is
that it will become official by the next release (4.4) and finally, the
"z3_non_commercial" system option can go away :-)

Cheers
Lars

I didn't know the source was already available.
Then I'm not sure whether this move makes it more or less open.

Anyway, will this have some effect towards the no-smt policy in afp submissions?
Just for curiosity, since we already removed smt occurrences througout all our Isabelle code :)

Best,

The Z3 package with Isabelle is actually an unstable version at some point between 4.3.1 and 4.3.2. We could do the same thing again, and just take the latest repository version to get a package with no “z3_non_commercial” option.

No. We have no control over Z3 and hence Z3 proofs are inherently brittle.

Thank you for answering.
Best,
