Well, reminding is just the easy part :)

Is this code different from the GPL one found on the author website?

  http://www.eecs.northwestern.edu/~nocedal/lbfgsb.html

I don't know what as been done for Slicer but as I mentioned earlier
  http://www.itk.org/mailman/private/insight-developers/2010-March/014245.html
we could switch to the ITK implementation from elastix which as far as
I understand should be just a matter of copy and paste
  http://elastix.isi.uu.nl/doxygen/a00204.html
or rely on a generic LBFGS solver written in C under a MIT license

Best,
Tom
