superlu/colamd.c and superlu/colamd.h have the following:

    Authors:

	The authors of the code itself are Stefan I. Larimore and Timothy A.
	Davis (davis@cise.ufl.edu), University of Florida.  The algorithm was
	developed in collaboration with John Gilbert, Xerox PARC, and Esmond
	Ng, Oak Ridge National Laboratory.

    Date:

	August 3, 1998.  Version 1.0.

    Acknowledgements:

    Availability:

	This file is located at

		http://www.cise.ufl.edu/~davis/colamd/colamd.c

	The colamd.h file is required, located in the same directory.
	The colamdmex.c file provides a Matlab interface for colamd.
	The symamdmex.c file provides a Matlab interface for symamd, which is
	a symmetric ordering based on this code, colamd.c.  All codes are
	purely ANSI C compliant (they use no Unix-specific routines, include
	files, etc.).

The directory amd is new to version 1.0.  The copyright notice found in amd.h
refers to the LGPL, which is found in /usr/share/common-licenses/LGPL-2.1:

/* AMD Version 1.0 (Apr. 30, 2003), Copyright (c) 2003 by Timothy A. Davis,   */
/* Patrick R. Amestoy, and Iain S. Duff.  See ../README for License.          */
/* email: davis@cise.ufl.edu    CISE Department, Univ. of Florida.            */
/* web: http://www.cise.ufl.edu/research/sparse/amd                           */

Unfortunately, ../README is the main pysparse README, not the amd README.  But
visiting the "web:" link above reveals:

Copyright, and License:

(Version 2.1 or any later).
