Oh. The file permissions from your CD are being copied over to your
home directory. On your CD, the files are read-only, so those
permissions got copied over  too.

On the directory where you copied those files to, "chmod 644 *.m" in
order to give read-write access to all files that end with .m

This is getting a little offtopic for Octave. If you have more
GNU-specific questions, you might want to ask in a different forum.
