New description:
We are shipping an *ancient* version of cvxopt in sage. It's worse than
Debian shipping sage-3.0.5!
Note that upgrading cvxopt should be fairly easy, since basically nothing
in Sage depends on cvxopt.

Comment:
I am not convinced that the licence issue is resolved.
* cvxopt is a '''standard''' package in Sage (if that would matter).
* {{{SPKG.txt}}} claims the licence to be "multiple licenses: GPLv2,
GPLv3, GNU Lesser General Public License, v2.1" when in fact it is simply
GPLv3+. It is true that ''parts'' of cvxopt have different licences, but
the package as a whole is GPLv3+. In any case, this has to be changed in
{{{SPKG.txt}}}
I posted to sage-devel about this.
