Sp, do I understand you correctly:
1) 'octave' is a derived work of 'matlab' - because of the language;
2) anything that uses 'octave' syntax is a derived work of 'octave', and
thus should be released under GPL ?

That was my point - the OP maybe wanted in no way his work to be considered
to be derived works of 'ocatave'.

Sergei.
