This isn't really my field, so I can't help out here. But just a small
question: wouldn't it make sense to call this function something like
'solve_linear_program' or 'linear_programming'. That would make it
easier if we at some point would use a different framework for solving
these kinds of problems (if one day they chose a non-silly license, we
just might use http://www.coin-or.org/).
