Well, it's a shame we can't legally use FFTW to revive that GSoC project, but FFTW is not the only option out there. There's e.g. https://github.com/anthonix/ffts. Also, as Jehan correctly stated, licensing a library under GPL opens a whole can of worms. Just google for "libredwg gpl freecad librecad" to see what kind of madness can happen.
