As a GNU project, we would of course prefer, but cannot require, that
you use the GNU compiler collection.

As just one of the copyright holders to a very small part of the Octave
code base, I would personally object to you distributing a binary
derived from the Octave source code that depends on and includes
non-free binary blobs, and I think many others would as well.

As a non-lawyer, maybe better to ask address@hidden
