Octave is a "Gnu Matlab" .. what do you all think?
Aside from the obvious problems with trademark infringement that statement poses, it sounds as strange as saying Linux is a "GNU Windows". (Anyone remember Lindows? Microsoft took them to court over it.) I think John's statement yesterday (I hope I remember correctly since I already deleted the mail) that Octave is a free implementation of the Matlab language is the most accurate description.
