Re: Xoctave - Human interface to GNU Octave

[mmab]

thanks for the comments.
I can switch the license to GPL, LGPL or any open source, if anyone wants to
contribute to the project. I also posted a message to Lazarus community, but
there seem to be little intention on contribution. Interest upon the project
will direct the way of Xoctave development.
