Mathematica no longer available for the Raspberry Pi?

EDIT 2: As noted below, the problem is now resolved.

EDIT and warning: If you have Mathematica on the Raspberry Pi right now, do not uninstall at this point.

Mathematica is no longer included in the Raspbian repositories or the default Raspbian image. The Mathematica and Wolfram Language sections of the Raspberry Pi forum have been purged—apparently gone for good.

I uninstalled it, planning to reinstall a newer version, and it seems that now I lost it permanently.

Are there plans to make it available again?

There's also a thread about this on the Raspberry Pi forums. People speculate that Wolfram no longer licenses Mathematica for Raspbian, which seems strange/doubtful to me given that 11.3 for the RPi was released just 3 months ago, i.e. development seems to be ongoing.

Can anyone from Wolfram comment please?

Many people don't know anything about mathematica just because they have never seen it. There should be a free may be stripped down version of mathematica for all Linux users, not only for Raspberry Pi. In universities many departments don't buy mathematica because they are not aware of it. On the other hand many students are well aware of wolfram alpha because that how they check their answers.

Thank you! I installed it without any problem.

Mathematica + Wolfram Language will continue to be available on Raspberry Pi and can currently be downloaded from:

http://www.wolfram.com/raspberry-pi/

The following command will install it:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install wolfram-engine

Existing installations on RPi will continue to work as before.
