Re: Octave

[Sergei Steshenko]

Let's stir up somewhat the issue of GNU proponents hypocrisy.

The hypocrisy being moderation of my message despite the claims of GNU 
proponents that GNU software is free as both in beer and in speech.

I've lovingly collecting "Your message to Help-octave awaits moderator 
approval" messages, along with some rejected messages.

Have the GNU proponents taken "da fifth" and finally realized that hypocrisy 
may be not in their favor ?
