The MKL license is proprietary but not viral.

The problem is in distribution. For many users, installing a new

My point isn't about speed; its about the scope of numpy. typing np.fft.fft
isn't more or less convenient than using some other symbol from the
scientific python stack.
Numerical algorithms should be part of the stack, for sure; but should they
be part of numpy? I think its cleaner to have them in

One of the downsides of the BSD license :)

If I may 'hyjack' the discussion back to the meta-point:
should we be having this discussion on the numpy mailing list at all?

numpy; but given that there are several fft libraries with their own pros

This is not a problem if you thell FFTW to guess a plan instead of making
measurements. FFTPACK needs to set up a look-up tabl

Matlab switched from FFTPACK to FFTW because the latter was faster in
general. If FFTW guesses a plan it does not take very long. Actual
measurements can be slow, however, bu

From my reading, this seems to be the biggest issue with FFTS (from my
