Why don't you create a free pip repo? Is it because it would take time and effort to learn how to do so and then do it? If so, there's your answer. I actually looked into doing this a while back. It is possible, but non-trivial. I decided to put it on the back burner and focus on Trisquel 9. Lately I've been cutting back on the number of hours I spend on Trisquel in general, and I think I might stop contributing to Trisquel entirely and use my unpaid free time to work on other projects, so unless someone else volunteers to create a free pip repo I wouldn't count on it happening any time soon.
