Have you read the terms of service for the file exchange?
Although content you obtain from the site may appear to be licensed
under a simple BSD license, the terms of service here:
http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/disclaimer.html
include the clause
All content contained in the MATLAB Central File Exchange may only
be used with MathWorks products.
Even though the file exchange requires you to submit your code under
the terms of a BSD-style license, they are claiming this additional
restriction on it. So I think we should be careful to obtain
permission from original authors if we would like to use code from the
file exchange with Octave.
Note that adding an extra restriction like this to BSD-licensed code
is possible because, unlike the GPL, the BSD license does not prevent
people who redistribute from placing additional restrictions on the
code.
