AW: Re: calling octave from C

Am in the train, therefore top posting ...

in reply to ur question, it is neither for .m nor perl files forbidden to 
distribute them as closed source when they do not include or directly reference 
GPL software. If these files provide some logic on their own they can be 
distributed via a different license. 

However, as far as i understand, any pytave script has to use pytave libraries 
in its code, which then means that ur code directly calls these specific 
functions, which means further that ur program needs these libraries and then 
of course that u need to distribute (when u want to) ur code via gpl. 

Fact is that pytave is written in python as well and can be seen as a library 
that ur python/pytave scripts use. 

In any case, the question is propably better directed to the fsf indeed.

Kind regards,
Ulrich

How can forbidding non-GPL python files be justified while
simultaneously allowing use of non-GPL m-files? How does the GPL
choose to favor one interpreted language over another?
