[Cbc] Licensing question

Dear all,

Sorry for the partial email earlier.

In short: Is it correct that none of non-EPL-licensed optional components (GLPK, etc.) are included in the source repo of CBC and related dependencies?

I build CBC and its dependencies (Cbc, Clp, Cgl, Osi, CoinUtils, BuildTools) from the master branch of their repos.
These all mention EPL v2 as license in their root folder’s LICENSE file.

However, optional components exist such as GLPK, GNU Readline, GNU History, AMPL Solver Library (ASL), BLAS and LAPAC (etc.) that use different licenses, and that I therefore want to avoid.
Maybe a silly question, but such components are _not_ in the normal repos (like https://github.com/coin-or/cbc), or are they?
And as a consequence, these optional components are not in my self-built CBC.

Thank you for your help.

Jan-Willem
