Lorenzo,
From your previous emails I deduced that

1) As you are not allowed to share the code of your prgram it probably  
is not free software
2) As you mentioned "end users", I believe your program is being  
distributed.

if these assumptions are correct then consider that:
"Code written using Octave's native plug-in interface (also known as  
a .oct file) necessarily links with Octave internals and is considered  
a derivative work of Octave and therefore must be released under terms  
that are compatible with the GPL." [1]

so if you distribute your code as .oct files you might be required to  
share the source.

If my assumptions were incorrect then sorry for the noise.
