It looks like octave uses NPSOL to do linear programming, which in
turn means that it can't be distributed with that functionality
because of the license conflict.

Am I mistaken? Or, if not, is there a reason (say, politics) why
octave doesn't use glpk, which is GPL?
http://www.gnu.org/software/glpk/glpk.html
If someone can point me in the right direction, I'm willing to take a
stab at making a glpk version of the lpsol function (stub?), as LP is
something I often need.
I see that there was some recent discussion about using lp_solve,
which is GPL. Anyone know the status?

(Is this the right place to post these questions?)
Thanks.
