Point taken, but do you see what I'm saying? Since Octave has like the same
syntax and functions, there are a billion and one other resources that
people can use besides this supposed book. Including a CD with the actual
software, for free, would obviously be a huge boost in making it unique.

Here's a minor point: a printed Octave book can be accompanied by a CD with
Octave (rpms, debs, Win installers, sources etc) and extension packages. I
think the same is not true for any book on MATLAB :)
