Your comments about students converting from MATLAB to octave are
interesting.  I have an acquaintance on the Mathworks development team, and
recently asked him about the challenge from octave.  He basically said it
wasn't a concern.  In general, how many students a year would you say you
see convert to octave?

The recent Stanford free web-based machine learning course converted about
100,000 students. Seems like a start.  Even Stanford cannot afford Matlab
licenses for students.  This may be a reason why the Mathworks is "not
concerned."
