Notes about the MKL license

[Groostav]

Does anybody have a summary of the license impacts with respect to MKL licensing on static vs dynamic linking?

Some clauses:

You may use and redistribute the software (the“Software”), without modification
No reverse engineering, decompilation, or disassembly of this Software is permitted.

My question: does static linking constitute "disassembly" or "modification"?

I figured this might be worth updating the readme or adding a wiki page for. At the very least this should be asked & answered.

• somebody else on intels forums spooked about this clause (for dynamic linking): https://community.intel.com/t5/oneAPI-Registration-Download/MKL-License-Limited-patent-license/td-p/1285345
