We (I) had some direct contact with Pantone, and they made it quite 
clear that they do not, they will not give permission for us to 
distribute the Pantone palette either with Scribus, or in some other way.

Thus the creation of the wiki page:

http://wiki.scribus.net/index.php/How_to_legally_obtain_spot_colour_palettes_for_use_in_Scribus_1.3.3.x_and_later_versions

In the longer run, we hope that the inclusion of palettes from other 
competitors will eventually get Pantone to acquiesce to our request.
