Thanks :) I meant "link your code with Octave and distribute to
others". I meant to compare to writing one's own project from scratch
that does not use Octave, in that case it probably could be licensed
however the author likes and grant an exception for linking with CUDA
libraries if necessary. That seemed to be the model that Guillermo was
pointing to.
