Comment(by cswiercz):
I contacted the creator / moderator of the Clawpack software and will get
back with information soon.
If licensing doesn't work out then at the very least I'll develop an
"unofficial" package. That is, from what I understand, there can exist
code in Sage that uses spkg contents even if the spkg hasn't been
installed. That code just doesn't work. (Is that the situation for
accepted optional spkgs?) I"ll simply not "set up" use of the Clawpack
library, included in the spkg, on Sage before any spkg instalation.
Until I hear back about the licensing situation what do people suggest I
begin doing now that I've written most of the non-Sage-end stuff. I should
be starting on a Cython wrapper for a C library but I'm not sure if that's
such a good idea until this issue is resolved. My thought is that I could
write said Cython code completely external to Sage and have it be
"installed" while the {{{spkg-install}}} script is running.
Sage seems to be a little dry on the numerics side. Clawpack can be a good
first step into providing the functionality and beyond of one of the
MA*'s, namely Matlab, for the applied mathematics and sciences community.
