Thanks for this, I personally have a license for MKL due to a licensed Intel C++ compiler and it really does a good job.  I feel that Intel should do more to get MKL out in the open and more in use by the Open Source community.  For instance I would love to have access to their FFT code so I could optimize it for my specific use case, but right now things are a black box.  Very excited about CNTK btw, releasing a fully cooked multi machine distributed framework is just awesome.
