Hi all, let me remember you that OpenOpt is free Python-based BSD-licensed alternative to commercial AMPL, GAMS, TOMOPT/TOMNET, that are rather costly. Anyone is welcome to connect his solver(s) in terms of any license(s). Let me also note: information of solver authors, homepage, license, algorithm is stored in output structure, for example
