Comment(by SimonKing):

 I created a new version 1.0.1 of our package. You can install and test it
 by
 {{{
 sage -i
 
http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/SimonKing/Cohomology/p_group_cohomology-1.0.1
 }}}

 I did not open a new ticket for the new package version, since the changes
 mainly concern the points that were discussed here: Licenc/se...

  - The (modified) MeatAxe version in our package is now GPL2+. Many thanks
 to Michael Ringe for making this happen!
  - As I point out in the file SPKG.txt (that you find after opening the
 package with "tar -xj"), the licence of the package is GPL2+, while the
 data base and the documentation are CC By-SA.
  - The licence is also stated in the package's documentation, namely at
 http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/SimonKing/Cohomology/#licence
  - When the package gets installed, a file LICENCE is copied into the
 folder containing the data base (SAGE_ROOT/local/pGroupCohomology/db/),
 and a similar file is also at
 http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/SimonKing/Cohomology/db/

 Now you certainly think I am paranoid.

 Apart from that, I did the following changes:

  - There is a new method for cochains, returning the right multiplication
 by that cochain as a map of cohomology rings. So, this is a map that is
 not of degree zero and couldn't be dealt with before. There are new doc
 tests for composition of those maps.
  - The test suite "spkg-check" (in the standard location, i.e. after
 opening the package with "tar -xj") now does the tests one at a time, so
 that Singular will not be overworked. The new test suite "spkg-check-
 quickly" is quicker, but may result in the Singular errors that David
 found on some machines. Both test suites have to be executed in a Sage
 shell.
  - The Massey products are not included yet, I need a lot more time for
 them.

 I ask the reviewer(s) to do the following:

  - Install the new package version, including platforms such as OS X (I am
 really happy and surprised that it worked with the first version!!)
  - Run the test suite(s)
  - Do some reading in the documentation
 http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/SimonKing/Cohomology/ and see if you
 find it useful

 Should a positive review result: Must I start a voting on sage-devel
 before it can become an optional package?

 Best regards
    Simon
