[Numpy-discussion] Use OpenBLAS for the binary releases?

[Frédéric Bastien]

Hi,

it was mainly developed by one person and he left for Intel. They
relicensed GotoBLAS to BSD 3 clauses and some Chinese people forked it to
OpenBLAS. There was another fork, but I didn't got news of it. Maybe I just
missed the news.
