My inference is that since the package is not published under GPLv3, the
authors probably didn't intend to add the package to GNU ELPA.  But I
might be mistaken!

To the package author: If the package is to be added to GNU ELPA, all
significant contributors have to sign the FSF copyright assignment [0]
and the package must be relicensed to match that of Emacs.
