This is what I could come up with after grepping through my files:

>> qld.f:

  c                     !!!! NOTICE !!!!
  c
  c 1. The routines contained in this file are due to Prof. K.Schittkowski
  c    of the University of Bayreuth, Germany (modification of routines
  c    due to Prof. MJD Powell at the University of Cambridge).  They can
  c    be freely distributed

This note of course means nothing without corroboration, and I'm still 
looking for a an email from Prof. Schittkowski that I'm sure I've filed 
away in the most obscure folder somewhere, and quite possibly old enough
to be sitting on a CD backup.

My copy came via FSQP package from U of Maryland (Tits and Zhou I believe 
are the principal investigators).

Regards,
Mumit
