Hi! This is a question I haven't though. Well, I think your second option is feasible. OpenCL headers are freely (as in freedom) distributed in the khronos group page (http://www.khronos.org/registry/cl/). We just have to hope vendors follow this specification. Of course, we still need proprietary drivers (libOpenCL.so) in the runtime until there is an open-source implementation. But I don't know if this is a problem.
