Not possible. ACM owns the copyright of software published in its TOMS 
magazine, and the ACM software license allows use "solely for academic, 
research and other similar noncommercial uses".

    http://www.acm.org/publications/policies/softwarecrnotice

Such software cannot be included in Scipy.

Scilab, or anyone who uses Scilab in a commercial setting, is actually 
violating the copyright of the ACM if it includes this code.
