however, in the public domain. It is copyrighted and there are
restrictions on its distribution, but the restrictions are designed to
ensure that others will have the same freedom to use and redistribute
Octave that you have. The precise conditions can be found in the GNU
General Public License that comes with Octave and that also appears in
