it helps the packagers, who don't want to trust/rely on pypi.org.

PGP signing the tags adds some extra geek value... :)

Not sure if this is fixable at this point, but the decision to call this directory rlp is quite destructive to users who are also using pyrlp in parallel (not by their own design necessarily... just because of dependencies in other packages).

When pip installs this package, it overwrites the contents of pyrlp in /site-packages. Huge headache to fix.

i'm packaging trezor stuff for Guix (a linux distro). it is an FSF free software fundamentalist distro, which means that "anything restricting the basic freedoms make licenses non-free", which applies to your last sentence "This software cannot be used by state organizations.".

now, i fully agree with you... but due to this i cannot update trezor support in Guix (or at least not easily; i'd need to weed out the tests that require this lib).

and arguably, it's also too broad; i.e. it includes schools run with government money, and also not very clear where the line is between state and non-state organizations.

in these lights, would you be willing to revert to vanilla MIT?
