Here here! I run into this often, it is amazing the speedup MKL provides for linear algebra heavy scientific computations and it is under this weirdly commercial, but permissively redistrubutable framework which means a lot of folks are using it unkowningly in a gray licensing area. See the pre-build python Numpy/Scipy packages that use it and are often use by data science types: http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#numpy http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#numpy

Not sure about Chris's licensing of MKL, but Continuum has a redistributable license of MKL packaged into their numpy builds for Anaconda - https://www.continuum.io/blog/developer-blog/anaconda-25-release-now-mkl-optimizations https://www.continuum.io/blog/developer-blog/anaconda-25-rel...

Intel has a Python distribution which bundles MKL as well: https://software.intel.com/en-us/intel-distribution-for-python https://software.intel.com/en-us/intel-distribution-for-pyth...
