Dear Kostas,

Thank you for your important work !

1) I made some modifications on the license of most of the files  
listed by you, except for superlu files (r3056). I agree with Luis.  
Superlu could be an external dependence for the package.

4) The problem is fixed.

5) Name without ++ are ok.

Regards,

Yves.
