It carries the SRFI license, which is non-free (Philip McGrath stumbled
upon a similar issue with Racket¹). So this package cannot be included.
There exist free implementations of SRFI-37 though, such as that of
Guile, so one option would be to come up with a separate egg released
under a free license.
I realize that may be more work than you were expecting, but I expecting
porting this module from Guile (say) to CHICKEN to be within reach.
Thanks,
Ludo’.
