Hi Henrik apologies for the very late responde. The submission of your package brought up the subject of the non-free section in the project and we have been discussing what to do about it. As you probably already know if you are subscribed to the mailing-list, we have decided to remove the non-free section [1, 2] and so, we cannot accept the package. I hope you don't see this as an afront to your business model, you're completely free to develop the package and we are in no way against it. As for releases, since the likely users of the package will also be users of the MOSEK library, I'm sure they would expect it to be released first on your own website too. Despite this, I'd like to encourage you to still release the package under a free license. Of course, we see releasing MOSEK under a free software license as the ideal solution, and if that ever happens we will gladly accept add the package to the project.
