CoCoA is public domain software, available at http://cocoa.dima.unige.it where there is also a great deal of information about the system. From there you can access to the CoCoAForum and the CoCoAWiki, or directly at

Besides the main site in Genoa, Italy, there is a mirror of the official distribution: USA, West Coast http://www.reed.edu/cocoa

CoCoA is distributed freely under the following condition: any research activity which uses CoCoA should cite the system in the following form:

  Available at http://cocoa.dima.unige.it

(see also http://cocoa.dima.unige.it/citing.html)

The system can be freely redistributed to other users. New users should notify the CoCoA team at the email address below so they can be included in a users list. All members of this list will be kept up to date about the progress of the system.

The system is distributed as is. The authors make no guarantee about the fitness of the system for any particular application. They will not be liable for any direct, indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages in connection with the use of the system or of the manual.
