We can't use code from Gnumeric or octave because their codes are GPL'ed and
none of us are the original author of the ERF/ERFC code in octave/gnumeric.  GPL
wouldn't allow the OO.o code to be relicenced under a proprietary licence, which
Sun needs in order to release StarOffice.  Even less restrictive BSD licenced
code would not do.

If we can find out the mathematical formula used in octave (not the code), we
can devise our own code from it to produce the same result.  That's probably
what we would need to do if we wanted our ERF/ERFC to behave like octave.
