Thanks for > maintaining that! Ah well, I provided some functionality but I think the person who really contributed heavily to matlab-mode.el is Eric Ludlam, who unfortunately is too busy to maintain matlab-mode.el, so I just stepped in. > And as Stefan Monnier mentioned in an earlier email > thread, that could possibly be integrated into octave-mode.el piece > by piece and be part of Emacs.  Ah well there are two problems with that: - a technical one. The real difference between these two packages IMHO is their shell. The relevant matlab code was written over a very long period of time (starting in 91), is very matlab specific and looks very complicated to me. I am not really sure that anyone besides Eric understands it. - a copyright issue. I did not discuss this in detail on this list, but RMS asked me why the code could not be in ELPA instead of being in MELPA and the reason is that MathWorks has some copyright over some parts of the code and it is very very unlikely that they will transfer that copyright to the FSF. The code is under GPL2+ though. > Hope this helps.  > -- Yes it did thanks. Uwe
