I'm not a lawyer but for my understanding you can create a .m file with
calls to octave functions like "sum", "plot", "lsode" and so and add you
own copyright. To give someone the possibility to run this piece of code
he has to install octave and run it there.

You are not allowed to copy & paste code snippets from octave to your
(non-GPL) code.

I'm not sure what you mean with "libraries that are included in Octave
core" but I guess you mean the various function which are available
through the octave interpreter.
