I think Paryshaan is talking about how Iran doesn't have copyright
law, i.e. there is no "copyright infringement" in Iran. It's one of
the few countries that didn't sign the Berne convention. That means
that in Iran, it is not illegal to violate Matlab's license. If
Iranians want Matlab without the price tag, they can already legally
get that without needing Octave, except that The Mathworks apparently
tries to restrict access to its website to Iranians.

Very interesting, Iran is ahead of time concerning copyright on software.

Congrats.
