Use of Maple engine by 3rd party software

Show all headers | View raw

I was reading wikipedia where it said:

"
Listed below are third-party commercial products that no longer use the Maple engine:

1. Versions of Mathcad released between 1994 and 2006 included a Maple-derived
algebra engine (MKM, aka Mathsoft Kernel Maple), though subsequent versions use MuPAD.

2. Symbolic Math Toolbox in MATLAB contained a portion of the Maple 10 engine,
but now uses MuPAD (starting with MATLAB R2007b+ release). [10]

3. Older versions of the mathematical editor Scientific Workplace included
Maple as a computational engine, though current versions include MuPAD."

Since mupad is also a commercial software, I was asking myself, what would
cause these companies to switch from Maple engine to Mupad engine? (given
also that Maple engine supports more functions).

Is it a price issue?  Technical issues?

I remember using Workplace when it used Maple, and also remember using
Matlab when its engine was Maple.  I know that mupad syntax is very
similar to Maple for most of the commands.

Any one can shed some insight on this and what happened to cause this.
It seems such a lose for Maple.
