I had nothing to do with the incorporation of GiveLife into Scribus, but 
I am puzzled as to the apparent controversy. The licensing is no issue. 
Scribus would gladly supply Pantone colors if it was allowed to do so. 
Why? Because, like it or not, it is an industry standard and widely used.

You are not required to use GiveLife, and it seems unlikely that it will 
get in your way as you design. If you want to learn more, then perhaps 
the place to look would be their website, where they boldly display some 
email addresses:

http://www.givelifecolorsystem.com/About.php

So what GiveLife does for Scribus is to simply /allow/ someone who 
wishes to use it have immediate access within Scribus. That's about it.

Given the next Libre Graphics Meeting site being Madrid, perhaps we can 
invite them to be a sponsor/attendee/presenter.
