It's not a clone, it simply accepts the same type of input. This was not done to piggy back on matlabs IP. It was so people could easier migrate their projects

  The API interface is definitely a clone, is it not? I think calling Octave not a clone of MATLAB feels a bit misleading.

        They are all C compilers. I see no moral difference between Matlab or C compatible compilers.
