Hello Max,
what is the license status of the generated code? Can it be published
under GPL or does it contain nonfree code or link to some nonfree library?
Dynamically binding non-free code to GPL code is not allowable under the
GPL license. It would only be possible if the copyright holder chose to
change the GLPK license. E.g. by adding the classpath extension
(http://www.gnu.org/software/classpath/license.html) or by changing the
license to LGPL.
Best regards

Subject: Re: [Help-glpk] ANNOUNCEMENT: OptimJ solver link for GLPK/Java

Hello Robie and All,
Accept my apologies for the confusion in my previous message as I am not
familiar with the terminology of free software. OptimJ is free in the
monetary sense (no money changes hands) but not free in the sense of the
FSF.
Allow me to precise that OptimJ is a source-to-source generator (it takes
high-level modeling code and generates Java source code) that does not link
to any optimization library including glpk.
Max
