In case you or anyone else knows, are there other libraries that implement a high performance sparse QR? Really, I need a Q-less QR factorization for sparse matrices. As far as I know, there are only two: one comes from MKL:

The other comes from SPQR, which is part of SuiteSparse:

Part of the issue is that SPQR is dual licensed GPL/Commercial and the last time I checked a license was not cheap. Conversely, MKL has no redistribution fee, so it's been essentially the only option for this factorization if the code can't be bundled in a way compatible with the GPL.
