Rewrite of older HSL solvers?

[PetrKryslUCSD]

How likely is it that some of the older things in https://www.hsl.rl.ac.uk/archive/ might be released for a rewrite to other languages (obviously, I am thinking of Julia!)?

[dpo]

Highly unlikely I would say.

From https://www.hsl.rl.ac.uk/licencing.html:

We currently offer two types of licence:

Free personal use
HSL Archive packages are available at no cost for academic or commercial use. This licence is for personal use only, and the software may not be redistributed in whole or in part, as source or in binary form.
Commercial (incorporation)
For incorporation in software that you distribute, we offer an incorporation licence. Pricing is done on a case-by-case basis. Please [contact us](mailto:hsl@stfc.ac.uk) to discuss your requirements. Pricing is similar to the main library codes due to additional support overheads.

That's what I suspected. Still, this may be a way for the HSL routines to maintain relevance after the last Fortran programmer gives up. ;-)
