Dear Ocatve List,
I've done my best to locate the original author of the stream function script.
How ever, it seems that there should be no barrier to publish this code under a GPL license.
At least that is Andrey Scherbina is saying, see below in his answer (he originally published this code where I took it from).
Would be great to know it is there in Octave for my use.
Thanks,
Oz

Hi,
I'm sure that would be fine. I've included the "(c)" mark only to signify authorship. The code came from Kirill's posting on a forum some 16 years ago (quoted in full on my site), and it did not mention any explicit copyright claims. His intent was obviously to have Mathworks include this functionality in Matlab, so I'm sure he'd be fine with GPL. That being said, I'm afraid I have no more authority over the code than you do.
If you want to pursue it formally further, here's some recent Kyril's contact information:

Perhaps you'd be able to find him at CRI, Inc (
http://www.cri-inc.com)?
Best regards,
- Andrey

Hello Dr. Scherbina,
I found your Matlab codes for stream functions very useful. I used
them successfully in Octave too.

Since Octave is an open source project they will be very easy to
include by default.
There is a Copyright for Kiril Pankratov - I don't know if this email
is still valid - but since the code is already shown, it would be nice
if I good get a specific note that we can you the code under GPL
license or MIT.
Many thanks,
