At least here in Spain not many people/universities can afford to get a Matlab license (actually I dont know why they should do that xD). You are well advertised just because octave is a quality software. By the way, the risen of QtOctave as a mature piece of software has encouraged people to start using octave, people that is afraid of terminals/consoles. | ||

In my opinion some ideas on the website have very little information.
