It is their code and I did not use it. The main point is we reimplemented it. Of course, relying on their code that is GPLed would be a clear no-go as GPL is a category X license (see <http://www.apache.org/legal/resolved.html#category-x>). Perhaps I should give a go to still other optimizations just to make more clear our code is really different ?
