Commercial, but yes you can use a free-of-charge version.

I think the same applies to it (not 100% sure)

Google for Goto BLAS, you'll find a university website, you have to
click on some kind of agreement before you can download, AFAICR.
None of the above is free-as-in-FSF, but ATLAS is (afaik).

The default branch in mercurial is eigen3.
This is 2011, so do not bother benchmarking eigen2 anymore :)
Eigen3 benchmarking is very welcome; unfortunately I think that only
Gael knows the black magic of running our BTL benchmarks with all the
back-ends. It would be great to get a wiki page on this topic.
