From help-octave-request at bevo dot che dot wisc dot edu Sun Jun 10 09:57:35 2001 Subject: licensing issues... From: Herman Bruyninckx To: Date: Sun, 10 Jun 2001 16:57:32 +0200 (CEST) The Octave web page says: ``enhancements to Octave that are written as function files in Octave's scripting language are not required to be redistributed under the terms of the GPL''. What part of the GPL license is used in this argument? What about using octave as a _shared library_ for libraries in a LGPLed project? Is this possible, or must that project be GPL too? Herman -- "I decry the current tendency to seek patents on algorithms. There are better ways to earn a living than to prevent other people from making use of one's contributions to computer science."
