Try

Reason is that r/d.param.scale are using functions from "Numerical receipes
in C" which are copyright protected. If anyone would modify the routines to
use the "new" GRASS -gmath library (src/libes/gmath) which are based on
LAPACK/BLAS, we could put the code back fro distribution.

Both modules are in
 src.nonGPL/raster/...
 src.nonGPL/display/...
