Are you sure? I do not think that is correct. Downloading and installating
MKL, and running it with R or Octave (or any other package linking the BLAS
interface) does not constitute a GPL violation AFAIK.
(There may well be limitations on further redistribution of the aggregate
even though even the MKL now limits redistribution as it is of course still a
no-source-code piece of software.)
Thanks for all your work on this though. Much appreciated.
