From what I understand LGPL (Not the standard GLP) code could be used with out breaking the license.. is this correct? I think I saw a project that was LGPLed that used MMX optimizations. I'll see if I can find it.

Programs licensed under the LGPL don't allow reusing code in non
(L)GPL-compatible licensed programs. The only strong point of the "Lesser"
GPL is that it allows linking against software licensed under it to any
other program...

I don't see a problem with requiring the user to download [yet] another library to link against. Hell, for speed performances I'll do anything (and it's cheaper than buting a new CPU!). While we can't include the code, linking to it is still a performance gain :) Xmame already requires quite a few "optional" libs for the OSD (SDL/GGI/SVGA)

{I had originally read your email incorrectly and had quoted tonnes of linking info regrarding the GPL... :) Good thing I re-read your comments! )
