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. Dirk -- http://dirk.eddelbuettel.com | @eddelbuettel | e...@debian.org
