Looking for Work After 25 Years of Octave
Why can't a company like google just hire and let him work octave like 20% of the time. They can afford it.

Better yet, some consortium of universities. I've found that Matlab usage is probably like >90% academics.
Wouldn't paying for contributions to Octave devs not save them money versus Matlab licenses?

Academic Matlab licenses are cheap. Hook 'em young, and they pay once they're out.

So Google's competitors benefit at Google's expense? This is a classical case of tragedy of the commons.
