[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #59546] Missing latex interpreter

[Markus Mützel]

Follow-up Comment #48, bug #59546 (project octave):

Re comment #44:
> I have a fix that consists in reverting most of the changes and adding
support for path elements in our hand-rolled svg renderer. For this the
simplest way was to borrow some chunks of code in Qt's source code. Is it OK
to do so?
Afaics, Qt is licensed under LGPLv3. IIUC, that license is compatible with the
GPLv3 used by Octave.
To my understanding, it is ok to use code that you find in Qt (as long as it
is covered by the LGPLv3) and use it in Octave (as long as it is covered by
the GPLv3). I'm not sure if we'd need to assign the copyright of that part of
the code separately though.
Maybe you should ask on the maintainers mailing list or the discourse forum.
