The idea that world can't find a way to financially support Clp and Cbc is deeply disappointing. These are such intensely useful projects.

HiGHS offers better overall performance than Clp and Cbc, is MIT licensed, and has 3+ years of funded support.

Hi Julian,

I don't think this is a productive narrative to be pushing. Many projects currently rely critically on COIN-OR software, and will continue to do so simply because inertia is often what drives project dependency management. Open source funding is not a zero-sum game, and COIN-OR getting financial support will only strengthen the ecosystem of open-source solvers.
