Corbin Champion <address@hidden> is attempting to get Octave on
Android. If you want to help him, you should contact him.

The legal issues with locked-down iThings pose a lot of problems for
free software, so it's not just a matter of not liking their attitude,
but that their attitude actually forbids GPLv3 software. They don't
want you to run free software, because they want to make sure they can
control what software you can install on them, so it's plain illegal
to get Octave on iThings under some jurisdictions.
