Intel does make IPP (Integrated Performance Primitives) available for
free on Linux platforms *for non-commercial usage*, which individual
developers of an Open and Free project such as HPSDR normally
qualifies. Their definition of non-commercial is specific, so anyone
using it should read the non-commercial Software FAQ from Intel.

There are a number of redistributable files that are freely
redistributable to end-users. The files are specified in
"ippredist.txt".

So for Linux developers that should be straight forward. It is not so
clear for MS Windows platforms.
