+GNU Octave is a high-level language, primarily intended for numerical
+computations.  It provides a convenient command line interface for
+solving linear and nonlinear problems numerically, and for performing
+other numerical experiments using a language that is mostly compatible
+with Matlab.  It may also be used as a batch-oriented language. 
+
+Octave has extensive tools for solving common numerical linear algebra
+problems, finding the roots of nonlinear equations, integrating
+ordinary functions, manipulating polynomials, and integrating ordinary
+differential and differential-algebraic equations.  It is easily extensible
+and customizable via user-defined functions written in Octave's own
+language, or using dynamically loaded modules written in C++, C, Fortran,
+or other languages. 
+
+GNU Octave is also freely redistributable software.  You may redistribute
+it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License
+(GPL) as published by the Free Software Foundation. 
+
+Octave was written by John W. Eaton and many others.  Because Octave is
+free software you are encouraged to help make Octave more useful by writing
+and contributing additional functions for it, and by reporting any problems
+you may have.
