The opensource ecosystem is vast and diversified.
On the one hand, you're right that Octave could benefit from funding. OTOH, promoting Octave as the-poor-man MatLab does not seems adaquate to me. At first, we will appear as a MatLab concurrent, and as so will become a "target" for actions. Second, when I see students from countries where copyright laws are less enforced, they all have crackeds version of you-just-name-it. They prefer to use some MatLab of dubious ancestry because "it is standard". They mean it both ways: everybody write and diffuse code in THIS language, and everybody crack it.
I thus conclude that "money" should not be the only argument; we should agree on other metrics to promote actions around Octave.
