This looks so much like the bin packing problem [0] if you generalized it you could do a lot with it.

Yep, I'm targeting an optimization engine at a more specific problem that might be useful to lots of consumers.
Would you make that open source? I'm interested in this problem. I'm sure there are some OS bin packing algorithms but I not familiar with ones that have separation and linking rules.
I'm using Optaplanner underneath, which is already open source.
