Licensing and CPLEX

Opened this issue · 2 comments

I just saw the talk and this looks great.
Would it be possible to change the licensing to BSD / MIT? Those are the standard in the data science python community and will get you more adoption.

Also, how much worse will this get if you use an open source MIPS solver? It would be great to be able to choose a solver to be independent from IBM.

Hi! Great work. Following up on the same issues raised earlier by @amueller. There are a few open python MIPS solvers that might work for this, like pulp or others. Here is a link that might be useful: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/26305704/python-mixed-integer-linear-programming.

thanks!

from that thread it looks like pulp is a front-end only.
