Hello,
If we wanted to write Octave, how much would it cost us? According to
http://www.ohloh.net, we would need $700,516 and 13 man years:

That's a lot of money and effort!
To put the data in perspective, the estimated cost of Maxima is $1,089,624 and
the cost of Gnuplot is $1,170,857:

P.S. This is a Friday pre-vacation message, I beg your pardon for increasing
the noise/useful information ratio.
