Since the algorithm is under GPL, the code would not be usable unless under GPL, correct?
I mean, the OP certainly can implement the algorithm and release his *implementation* under any license he chooses, but the resulting code would still be subject to the algorithm patent holder licensing terms, which (under GPL terms) would put the entire library in the same bucket if this code is accepted/included there. Correct?
