For legal reasons, it is VERY IMPORTANT that you do not read Matlab's
source code while working on Octave. In particular, do not attempt to
dig too deeply into Matlab's implementation details.

This is just a warning. It is not yet apparent that you've read
Matlab's source code, but remember to not do it.

The Matlab license also forbids using Matlab for implementing a
competing product. I do not know exactly what this means, but it's
safest if you don't use Matlab at all and instead ask someone else to
report to you on what Matlab does. This is clean-room reverse
engineering, and this is legally safe (or safer).
