[GAMSlinks] just COIN-OR solvers?

[Robin Lougee-Heimer]

Stefan:
I have a question on the project goal, which is stated as:

"This project is dedicated to the development of links between GAMS (G
eneral Algebraic Modeling System) and solvers that are hosted at COIN-OR."

Is it really true?  I was wondering if it might be more general, i.e., 

"This project is dedicated to the the development of links between GAMS 
and open-source solvers." 

because, for example GLPK is not hosted by COIN-OR but supported by the 
project.  (I find the broader goal  more appealing and in keeping with the 
spirit of COIN-OR to promote open-source in OR).   This nit came up re: 
the GAMSlink write up for the ICS spring newsletter. 

thanks in advance for the clarification,
Robin
