I don't understand. Are you saying that because it's a Windows
application, there's no value in its source code?

This is what I did which makes me think it might include some sort of
Octave code:

I don't know why it's referring to so many Octave functions. Perhaps
it's only for syntax highlighting or for docstrings. Or perhaps it's
calling those functions in some way.

At any rate, I think we should wait for Joaquim to tell us what can he
do about giving us the source before we speculate more. After all, he
already wrote the software and gave it away for other people to use.
It's obvious he's doing this in good faith.
