As long as you don't distribute the result, you can link Octave to
whatever you want to. For free software using GPUs, there's OpenCL:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opencl#Implementation
Note that OpenCL is a standard, not a specific software, so it can be
implemented as a wrapper over CUDA. You'll be even able to distribute
the binaries (under GPL terms) that can link to any OpenCL
implementation, including a proprietary one.
