Most notable difference between SCSL and SPS is up-do-date sources. I.e. sources released under SCSL usually are releasing about 2 months after acutal release and are just snapshot of tree. And SPS sources access (as I understand) provide access to today's sources with all bugfixes, but without possibility to make source release (i.e. it's not possible to release patchsets or anyting like that). After switch to SPS we'll have binary releases only.
