I've written some Eclipse plugins for Octave development, that I've
licensed under the GPL-incompatible EPL. The Eclipse framework (DLTK)
I've based my code on allows for external debugging engines to be
integrated if the speak a documented network protocol, DBGP
(http://xdebug.org/docs-dbgp.php).

I've also written a DBGP based debug engine for Octave, that I've
licensed under the GPLv3, as it certainly is a derivative work of
Octave.

It was my understanding that I can only distribute them separately.
Do you mean that I am mistaken and in fact I can't distribute the DBGP
debugger at all?
