--- Comment #14 from pcpa <[email protected]> ---
I think surf-geometry should be good enough. About
patching, it should require significant patching to
the package itself because surf is hardcoded everywhere
in build environment, and almost all, if not all
source files have this before the standard GPL

I would vote for renaming to surf-geometry, but not
patching the package itself neither Singular, that
is, keep the Conflicts with the current surf package.
