What is the GPL violation? Corbin's source code is available here:

    https://github.com/corbinlc/octave4android

If you are offended by his request for a donation, you are free to
undo it:

It is not a GPL violation to charge money for distribution. In fact, I
encourage anyone who redistributes Octave to do so, and I specifically
recommended to Corbin that he should take the opportunity to charge
for it, since this is such a convenient distribution mechanism.
