well using someone's code properly licensed isn't plagiarism

a fair few of my uni classes were like take this guys code and make it do this, which were like 4 lines changes

"Here's this header file that implements 99% of the mathematics, because I'm not paid to teach mathematics."

Ironically I learned a lot more about linear algebra from that header file than from my actual teacher.

I just saw a "faster linear algebra" package scroll by on pacman. I almost pulled up the source/documentation.

The only thing that stopped me was that I have about 199 things more relevant to my usage than linear algebra.
