Asking ffor package to be released under GPL compatible licenses

[fgnievinski]

I've taken the liberty of adding a caveat to:
<http://wiki.octave.org/Asking_for_package_to_be_released_under_GPL:_examples>
"Please notice that code from the MathWorks FileExchange are normally
released under the 3-clause modified BSD licence (e.g., [1]), which is
GPL-compatible (see [2] and [3]), therefore you only need to ask authors if
the code would be available outside of Matlab Central (e.g., the author's
own website or directly via email), so as to bypass clause 2.ii in the
website Terms of Use (see the FAQ for background). Authors do not need to
release their code under the GPL to have it incorporated into a GPL program
(see [4] for practical implementation)."
