Yes, it is meant to be a proxy. > If it would be a reimplementation, the best course of action would be to > start with a program that uses the library, and reimplement the > functionality based on what the program expects. No, the point of this work is to provide stub libraries for osi [1] to compile against. I don't want to actually reimplement the solvers. > the whole excercise is > rather pointless, as you will still be bound by the original > license. This would allow people who have licenses for these solvers to use Osi easily. Osi is an opensource library to write solver-agnostic code. It is great, but lots of people don't use it just because it is difficult to compile, and they use directly a commercial solver. I'm just trying to bring more users here.

Please elaborate. Would this qualify as "publicly available documentation"?
