Should we not also ask: if we got sued, would an argument along the lines of "yes, I know you've explicitly stated publicly that you meant *this* with your license, but we prefer interpreting it like *that*" fly? I have no idea how courts interpret these things, but if a reasonable expectation was set, I can't see how ignoring it would benefit us. Until there's absolute clarity, or a confirmation from the authors or the FSF that importing FFTW is OK, I wouldn't go there.
