Potential and actual problems:

1) If the text in the license header is correct and the file is indeed part of Scilab, I see little reason to include it also as part of bash-completion especially because it doesn't seem to be using any bash-completion features except _filedir.

2) Even though I guess the CeCILL v2 license and the GPL v2+ of bash-completion are compatible, the license header seems to imply that we should be including the CeCILL v2 license text also with bash-completion. I think it'd be better if the file was licensed under GPL v2+ like the rest of bash-completion if it is to be included.

3) The file should be changed to use _init_completion, see current bash-completion git.

4) Current bash-completion git no longer defines $filenames.  _filedir turns on -o filenames automatically when needed.

5) I don't think there's any reason to use grep with compgen -W, just use compgen -W "$options" -- "$cur"

6) There's no need to include upper and lowercase stuff in _filedir argument like the completion does, lowercase is enough.

7) Have you looked into using _parse_help or _parse_usage instead of hardcoding lists of available options?

8) "# List all options. Note that" -- note what?
