[IPOL discuss] MATLAB demos

[Jacques Froment]

Dear all,

I am very reserved about the possibilities of publishing a code
that needs a commercial software. Would it be possible to request
the source code to be also compatible with the free GNU Octave
software ? (as Octave treats incompatibility with Matlab as a bug,
the main impact would be a limitation of usable functions from Matlab
toolboxes).

Sincerely,
Jacques.
