I prefer the term "hereditary license". It's not an infection. It's a
gift that has been passed down to other generations. I like the GPL. I
think the GPL is a great way to do business and be fair to your users.

At any rate, if you really think the GPL is a poison, you can use the
original FFTPACK instead of FFTW. It sucks compared to FFTW, old,
slower, unmaintained, but it won't force you to be nice to your
downstream users and give them source. This is the path that Scipy
takes.
