I have a better idea -- this concept is common for standards and is usually 
very suitable for patent owner due to the promotion:

Why not allow to use your FFT core with OC cores, and write that this core 
covers your patent. There should be the note, that you should be notified, 
when implementing the core and as long it is a part of OC project it is 
license free.

With the large number of competing FFT cores, yours would gain popularity and 
companies, which don't like OC model would implement your solution while 
having to pay royalties.
