I am looking for a 64-bit, Windows version of Numpy and I have found a couple pre-built versions that are linked against the Intel MKL library. I would like to use this library for in-house commercial use. In particular, I do not intend to redistribute my code or link against the Intel MKL libraries. Does this require an MKL license?
One of the FAQ questions from http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/intel-math-kernel-library-licensing-faq#redistribute reads: "Can I redistribute the Intel Math Kernel Library with my application? Yes. When you purchase Intel MKL, you receive rights to redistribute computational portions of Intel MKL with your application. The evaluation versions of Intel MKL do not include redistribution rights. The list of files that can be redistributed is provided in redist.txt included in the Intel MKL distribution with product license." This suggests that I can use a binary that has been compiled by a license holder without a license, but numpy is itself a library, in some sense, so it is not entirely clear to me. I suppose that I would also need to confirm that the individual who built the version of numpy that I am using holds a MKL product license?
