I appreciate your open and collaborative attitude, I think there has just been 
a slight misunderstanding

The misunderstanding, I believe, is about what is intended by source code.

The GPLv3 license says:

  The “Corresponding Source” for a work in object code form means all the 
source code needed to generate, 
  install, and (for an executable work) run the object code and to modify the 
work, including scripts to 
  control those activities.

What I am interested in are the scripts required to generate and install 
binaries of Octave and odepkg for Android.
As far as I can understand the code in github only covers the installation part 
not building, am I correct?

If so, I'd like to ask you to share those scripts, if I am mistaken and you 
have already made those scripts available
I'd appreciate that you point me to those scripts.

Thank you very much.
