This is a great question. I am forwarding it to Mike Heroux who has a high level position in the ECP; because I have similar concerns and also don't have a good answer. ParMetis does indeed have a poor license and essentially no support. Perhaps Mike
has some ideas.<br>

Hi Developers,<br>
<br>
I have introduced MatPartitioning interface to MOOSE. It is working great, and we can use all external partitioning packages via a simple interface.
<br>
<br>
But here is a concern. Almost all the packages are not under development any more. Does this make a bug fix more difficult in the future. Also some of them have bad licenses.
<br>
<br>
I was wondering there is any other partitioning package in the community? <br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
