The question here is whether Xoctave constitutes a derivative work.
The homepage says Octave is encapsulated using pipes, which is
probably OK (not a derivative work).
It is a derived work if XOctave is bundled with Octave when it is shipped so that Octave and XOctave become a single product in the eyes of the user. As far as I can see it isn't bundled with octave so this is probably ok...
