This is indeed a problem with PySCIPOpt. I don't think this is a bad intention. My point of view is that they wanted to have a form of dual licensing for making happy (paying) customers that in many situations do not like open source. Not to prevent users to use it. Moritz might infirm or confirm. If the package appears to be useful (I think it is) we could ask kindly to package PySCIPOpt under GPL or LGPL. I know of at least the CGAL project where the distinction is made cleaner [1]: they offer a GPL and a commercial version... and they *do* have customers (enough for 8 salaries).
