Following the links, I see that this is intended to be restricted to the packings with the squares aligned with the sides of the rectangle. Since it isn't clear that this is always the smallest rectangle that the squares can be fit into, I think the description should indicate this - unless somebody can prove that the best result is always with the squares aligned to the rectangle - in which case, the comments should indicate that.
