Yeah, but if you need C versions of low-level SIMD algorithms from there, copy-paste the implementation and it will probably compile as C code. That’s why I mentioned the MIT license: copy-pasting from GPL libraries may or may not work depending on the project, but the MIT license is copy-paste friendly.
