Hi all,

For my work I was asked to investigate the possibility of having a protected content file in Octave, basically the equivalent of p-code in MATLAB. We wish to use Octave instead so that our client can get away from needing MATLAB, but we would like to maintain the integrity of our work. This would serve 2 purposes, firstly, our clients are not terribly computer literate, so it would eliminate and breakage of the program by them accidentally editing files, and secondly it enables us to maintain our status as their supplier.

My questions are:


Is there a way to write a protected file for Octave (won't run p-code from MATLAB)
Does this violate the license agreement with Octave?

Thanks a ton for your help!

Very interesting question. I'm afraid I don't have the anwsers, though I'll keep tabs on this thread to see that you come up with.

with regards 2), I'd be surprised if there's any license restriction given that octave is merely a plateform interpreting you code. That is your not modifying Octave source code.
