Which is a role which the Octave embedding interface should be able to
serve reasonably well, without bumping into the philosophical (and
potentially legal) problems of linking matlab into GNU Radio.
If octave didn't exist then perhaps the argument would be different
... But octave does exist and it is largely matlab compatible .. So to
support embedding matlab in-lieu of octave wouldn't just be
gratuitously promoting propritary software, it would be promoting
propritary software to the exclusion of free software.
