A further complication for us is that the Mathworks is rich and amoral while GNU Octave is tiny and idealistic. If we ever become large enough for them to notice us, we have to make sure that we never give them the slightest argument in their favour. Should our code ever end up looking similar (similar variable names, similar structure), we have to be able to say that it's purely coincidental.
