[Coin-discuss] Any updates on COIN-OR GPL compatible licensing?

[Matthew Saltzman]

Soeren-

Sorry I haven't been able to respond sooner, but as you've seen from
Robin's post to coin-discuss, there has been some movement afoot on the
license front.  Whether that movement represents progress on the
compatibility/dual-licensing issues isn't yet clear, but there wasn't
much that we were in a position to do once this process started.

Now that this part is complete, we will be looking at this and related
issue again.
