Yes, indeed that's even coming out when executing its own test suite: Python is warning that as is a keyword in 2.6. > > Note that the license is GPLv2, not GPLv2+, > >http://home.scarlet.be/be052320/license.txt > > Maybe someone should contact the package author about that > > before a definite move is made? > > All of the license statements on the source code itself are GPLv2+. > > There are also a few changes that should to be done such as something like > > try: > from sage.all import Integer > ONE = Integer(1) > except ImportError: > ONE = 1.0 > > so that it plays nicer with exact arithmetic. > > --Mike William, as I stated in the wiki, I'm gaining interest toward Unum. I was going to include some examples of Quantites in SAGE as well (for "par condicio", as they say in Italy). I don't know what about contacting the author or modifying the code, but please consider also the effort needed to make it work with the non-arithmetic functions: 1. trigonometric 2. integration, derivation 3. possibly compatibility with symbolics? I would consider point (1) the minimum necessary to avoid making Unum (or any other units package) inclusion meaningless.
