Hi,

The attached patch adds the nomad-optimizer package.
The actual program/library is called NOMAD, but
there is already a nomad package in Guix.

Best regards,
Paul

I forgot to run guix lint.
Here is the updated patch.

Unfortunately, guix lint complains about a long line,
but forcing it to wrap would cause it to become more
unreadable, in my opinion.

Best regards,
Paul

Applied with one change:

This is ‘lgpl3+’ since source file headers carry the “or any later
version” wording.

Thanks!

Note that the LICENSE file is the standard LGPLv3 text; it should not be
modified.  The text reads:

  If the Library as you received it does not specify a version number of
  the GNU Lesser General Public License, you may choose any version of
  the GNU Lesser General Public License ever published by the Free
  Software Foundation.

In this case, headers explicitly specify “version 3 or any later
version”.  So I’d say the authors of nomad did “everything right”.

Thanks,
Ludo’.

My bad! I didn't know about this.
Thank you for the clarification.

Best regards,
