Rewriting the sparse Cholesky algorithm itself is not really
difficult. The main issue actually comes from the related approximate
minimum degree ordering algorithm which is LGPL too, and not funny to
re-implement. And a sparse cholesky solver without a good reordering
algorithm is quite useless.

Not yet, and no real plan for that.
