"what a license mess that package (python-zibopt) has --
it's a GPLed wrapper for non-free code, which I guess means that it's
simply not legal to redistribute it at all?"

python-zibopt would not be the only one. GCG, one major extension of SCIP, is 
also GPL-licensed: http://www.or.rwth-aachen.de/gcg/LICENSE.html
