Not free #1574

Why are you guys using Mosek? This is not free or open source.

bqpd commented 1 year ago

We do support CVXOPT, which is free and open source, but is not as capable with MOSEK. This might be because of MOSEK's presolver (CVXOPT does not have one) or because of its solver. Unfortunately efforts to see if other open source solvers such as SCS or ECOS could be a sufficient alternative to replace MOSEK have stalled -- would love a PR on that if you want to look into it!
