And even if someone does, it will require some form of license modification to prevent reverse-engineering, so this would probably have to be a 'special edition, non-GPL' version of Sage. I haven't the foggiest idea if that's even kosher with the GPL, but I suspect not. As per the MKL terms: https://github.com/numpy/numpy/wiki/Numerical-software-on-Windows#blas--lapack-libraries Those terms stopped us dead in our tracks when we looked at shipping numpy binaries linked against MKL. With the MKL, the cost of the license is the least of the issues.
