I can’t statically link with it because I would need to release my own software under the GPL.

Why not license your software under the GPL? For end-user applications like these, there's no reason software shouldn't be GPL, and if fact it would be better for you since it prevents companies from exploiting your work that you intended to serve the greater good for purposes of their own profit.

If OP did that, I probably wouldn’t bother to improve their code: https://github.com/Const-me/prettyeq/tree/master

While my primary motivation was “for lulz”, possibility to reuse the code whenever I need a fast 1D FFT also contributed.
