<div dir="ltr">Hi Babak,<div><br></div><div>Clp is licensed under the Eclipse Public License, which is unfortunately incompatible with the GPL. See these two FAQ entries:</div><div><a href="https://www.eclipse.org/legal/eplfaq.php#USEINANOTHER" target="_blank">https://www.eclipse.org/legal/eplfaq.php#USEINANOTHER</a><br>

Another option, which is common practice although I cannot comment on if it's technically compliant with the license, is to not distribute Clp along with the code, but instead allow users to download it on their own if they would prefer to use it over the solver which you are currently using.</div>
