3. I think at least a number of people at Wolfram understand that Octave has been an asset (or gateway drug if you prefer) for Matlab, rather than a threat
- ErotemeObelus 7y agoI never said sue. I said pull all the stops to make the project and the developer go away (or coopt it). Maybe that includes suing but probably not given how expensive lawsuits are. Usually companies are intelligent enough to use tactics that has the greatest likelihood of success: mafioso tactics. The developer won't, in all likelihood receive a lawsuit. He'll be given an offer he can't refuse.
