This email address is only for communication about website issues. For 
end user help, you should post to fedora-list. However, I will answer 
the question anyway this time.

Scilab, up until recently was not under a free and open source license 
and did meet the legal criteria for software to be included in Fedora. 
Their latest version is under a suitable license and a review request 
has been submitted to

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=472639

It is in progress currently. The review request is a peer check and a 
quality assurance process. Once it is complete, the software will be 
available in the repository and via Add/Remove software.
