--- Comment #3 from Dominik 'Rathann' Mierzejewski <dominik@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> ---
The description says:
[...] We 
provide ease of use through three primary mechanisms: 

(1)Operator and function over-loading.
(2)Numerous pre-fabricated utility functions.
(3)Clear documentation and example programs.

However, no trace of documentation or example programs is present in the
package. You could at least include the introductory article in PDF format
available on the homepage.

Licensecheck report:

BSD (2 clause)
--------------
scythestat-1.0.3/scythestat/rng/mersenne.h

This seems to be GPLv2+ code based on the reference implementation of MT19937
(BSD).

GPL (unversioned/unknown version)
---------------------------------
scythestat-1.0.3/scythestat/datablock.h

-> this is actually GPLv2+

Unknown or generated
--------------------
scythestat-1.0.3/scythestat/algorithm.h
scythestat-1.0.3/scythestat/defs.h
scythestat-1.0.3/scythestat/distributions.h
scythestat-1.0.3/scythestat/error.h
scythestat-1.0.3/scythestat/ide.h
scythestat-1.0.3/scythestat/la.h
scythestat-1.0.3/scythestat/lapack.h
scythestat-1.0.3/scythestat/matrix.h
scythestat-1.0.3/scythestat/matrix_bidirectional_iterator.h
scythestat-1.0.3/scythestat/matrix_forward_iterator.h
scythestat-1.0.3/scythestat/matrix_random_access_iterator.h
scythestat-1.0.3/scythestat/optimize.h
scythestat-1.0.3/scythestat/rng.h
scythestat-1.0.3/scythestat/rng/lecuyer.h
scythestat-1.0.3/scythestat/rng/rtmvnorm.h
scythestat-1.0.3/scythestat/rng/wrapped_generator.h
scythestat-1.0.3/scythestat/smath.h
scythestat-1.0.3/scythestat/stat.h

-> these are also GPLv2+

This means that there is no GPLv3+ source code inside the tarball. In other
words, your License: GPLv3+ seems to be wrong and should be GPLv2+. Even the
project website says "[...] the source code is available to all users under the
GNU General Public License.", without specifying the version. I think the GPLv3
text might have been included by mistake instead of GPLv2.
