Everybody is free to run, copy, distribute, study, change and improve Octave's source code, given in the main repository at https://www.octave.org/hg/octave. If you want to share your modifications, for example to fix a nasty '''bug #42424''', you cannot just submit your changes to Octave's main repository. You have to generate a '''patch (or changeset)''' so other Octave developers can include them into Octave's source code. | Everybody is free to "run, copy, distribute, study, change and improve"<ref>https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.en.html</ref> Octave's source code, given in the main repository at https://www.octave.org/hg/octave.
