This has nothing to do with namespaces, it has to do with software
licenses. You just included a bunch of source that has a license which is
far more restrictive than the PETSc license. You can't do that (while
keeping the PETSc license) without making its use optional. Barry wants
that done via an external package instead of an option within the PETSc
source tree.
