Comment(by jason):
I'd say full speed ahead (if Clawpack is the best out there for what it
does)! I think it's great that you're doing this. You're right that Sage
could use quite a bit more numerical stuff.
If the licensing issue stayed the same, then the package would be an
experimental or optional spkg. You can have code that uses it in Sage,
though; the code would just have to check for the installation of the
spkg. For example, Sage includes interfaces to commercial math systems,
etc.
I was just asking because we've had several situations where the author
was willing to change the license to get the code into Sage; Sage provides
a huge amount of exposure for code, which means not only that it is being
used, but also that bug fixes are being provided, it's being ported to
other platforms, etc. Licensing the code via GPL would prevent commercial
entities from incorporating it into their commercial closed-source
products, so that may address the issue in the license.
