What do you mean by "which I am involved"?  Are you a developer of that 
Matlab toolbox?

If you have access to a copy of the Matlab control toolbox and you have 
examined it in enough detail to know that these functions call an 
undocumented function, then I'm not sure we could accept contributions 
from you that are re-implementations of these same functions.  For 
example, if you were writing independent implementations of them, then 
how would you even know that there was an internal undocumented function 
called abcdchk?

We could accept other contributions from you, but we need to know that 
the code you contribute is your own, not derived from Matlab or other 
proprietary sources, and that you have the right to distribute your work 
under the terms of the GPL.

Also, please reply all when replying to messages on the mailing list so 
that the discussion stays on the list and others may participate.

Thanks,
