He appears to be professor at the Univ. of California, San Diego.

I would like to send him an E-Mail, what do other maintainers think about
this text:

"Dear Prof. Krysl,

you did include, in your page "Aetna,  An Engineer's Toolkit of Numerical
Algorithms" (http://https://code.google.com/p/aetna/), code taken from
ongoing work on octave-forge, namelly the multi-precision toolbox.

This code is WIP, being converted from a toolbox developped under MatLab,
and still contains a few rough edges and bugs.
I appreciate that other peoples find this toolbox usefull, nevertheless,
could you:
1) give credit to the original author, Ben Barrowes, the Octave maintainers
communauty, and myself;
2) state in your repository that it is a clone of 
https://sourceforge.net/p/octave/multi-precision/
3) maintain your repository in sync with ours in order not to distribute
buggy or outdated code;
4) agree on sending to the multi-precision maintainers bug reports and
improvements

Regards

Pascal Dupuis, multi-precision maintainer as octave-forge package"

Advices ? Suggestions ?

Regards

Pascal
