The books/papers are not the only reference possible. One can cite the
software as well:

@misc{Octave,
author = {{John W. Eaton and others}},
title = {{GNU Octave}},
url = {www.gnu.org/software/octave/},
year = {2015}
}

alternatively the field authors can be
author = {Octave community}

this is the way I cite the software in my papers.
