I have contacted the author (https://github.com/janverschelde/PHCpack/issues/3) and it seems redistribution under a different license is not really an option. However, if what Milan says is correct, then we should be able to include it 'as-is'. Now for the interface, I was thinking that, since there already exists a comprehensive C API to the Ada code, we could call that from Julia, what do you guys reckon?
