From help-octave-request at bevo dot che dot wisc dot edu Tue Jan 30 11:04:50 2001 Subject: Clarity on GPL and Octave licensing From: Joshua Rigler To: help-octave at bevo dot che dot wisc dot edu Date: Tue, 30 Jan 2001 10:04:39 -0700 OK, maybe I'm just dense, but all the recent discussion/debate regarding licensing issues with Octave is only serving to confuse me. I am assuming that I can write both .m and .oct files which make calls to any of Octave's builtin and included functions (.m or .oct), and am not necessarily obligated to make that software GPL. I know this is the case with GCC et al., but does this apply to Octave? My problem is likely to stem from the fact that I do government sponsored research, and can't always provide my routines to the public, as much as I would like to! -EJR ------------------------------------------------------------- Octave is freely available under the terms of the GNU GPL.
