Octave-3.0 released on 12/21/07!

Tired of paying exorbitant license fees for toolboxes and packages
that are severely restricted? Does your vendor allow only "Educational"
use of the software, and not for research purposes?

Whatever your reason, you are going to love Octave-3.0. Distributed under
the GNU GPL license Octave is freely available software, that does not
restrict you from installing only X number of copies, or using the package
only for doing Y only. Octave gives you freedom from proprietary vendors,
while providing you every other feature as the competition.

Switch to Octave Today! With 3.0 release GNU Octave on 21st Dec 2007,
has plenty of new features including N-dimensional arrays, support for sparse
matrices, enhanced 2/3-D graphics integration with gnuplot, platform
specific binaries for easy installation, image toolbox and much more.

Enjoy the following advantages, including but not limited to,

1. Liberal licensing terms allow any number of installation.
- this means no more 20-user seat license + 12-toolbox license and
all that mess!
- Focus on problem solving instead of worrying about
licensing, and if a computer is available with all license. Old style.

2. Octave ships with excellent documentation and a 600+ page manual.
