Is there any free software library that interfaces with GPU hardware?
Just because OpenCL is an "open standard" (whatever that might mean in
this case) does not mean that using it is necessarily GPL compatible.
Simply declaring some interface to be an "open standard" doesn't allow
you to sidestep the terms of the GPL.
