Just got a positive answer from the author of mapclass, so i have
added it to the package too.

I have done a new version of the gap_packages spkg, adding some new
packages. In particular i have added automata, cohomolo, crisp, fga,
fplsa, gbnp, kbmag and quagroup. The reason why i have chosen those is
that they are the ones that are listed as accepted in the gap site,
are under the GPL or LG
I have sent an email to the authors of the gap packages that are
listed as "accepted" in the gap site, and don't have a explicit
license statement. Some of them have already answered positively.
I have set up a list with the packages in google docs[1]. I will
update it as i receive the authors res
If the maintainers of the gap_packages spkg agree, i would propose to
include in it as many gap packages as possible. We could email the
authors of the packages asking them for permission to distribute them
under the GPL and include all the packages whose authors agree.

I usually consider MIT / BSD / Apache 2.0 to be a fairly optimal license
for the work I do. (In that they function to apply credit, limit liability,
and pretty much nothing else. I like licenses that optimize the freedom of
people to use the code for what they want.)

I like it!
They forgot the WTFPL: http://sam.zoy.org/wtfpl/ (gpl compatible!)

I was also going to say that it would be great to get a public statement
from the author that either licenses the software or releases the copyright

Hi, that's a nice one. I've added it to the menu on the sage page, in
"download > GAP packages". Is this not already a feature in GAP, which
automatically downloads+extracts those tarballs? E.g. in R there is
"install.packages" and so on.
A separate wiki page for R packages would be nice, too.
Thanks.

One way to check if they are correctly installed is to try to load
them.
If you want to use them from a gap session, just start
sage -gap
and then load them
LoadPackage("kbmag");
If you want to use them from sage through the sage-gap interface, then
sage
gap.LoadPackage('"kbmag"')
Note tha doubl
Thanks for the clear instructions. I just followed them literally and
it all worked fine. I have not tried the extra functionality though
-- is there (for each of the two packages in your examples) an easy
way to see if they are working?

I guess it's good to wait for at least one of the two :)

It also occurred to me that if there are (other) Gap packages which we
cannot dirstribute with Sage for licensing reasons, an alternative
would be to create a Sage spkg for those and submit it to the Gap
project for them to dirstribute (or at least have on their web page),
so that people could get

KBMAG is not the only gap package with no copyright/licensing note at
all. I haven't checked all of the packages i

Ok, so i would say that the consensus is to wait for both gap 4.5 and
git. That sounds like a long wait, but in the meantime i can just
write a quick tutorial on how to install gap packages in sage.
Which would be the appropiate place in the wiki to put it?

I have contacted the author of the kbmag package (which has no
copyright note at all), and he told me that "it is distributed under
no license, it is completely open source". I have asked him permission
to distribute it under the gpl license. So i have a legal question:
would it be enough if he gav
You are right, i didn't think about the license. Still, my point is
valid even if we restrict it to GPL gap packages.
