If you put this under the GPL, it creates a lot of problems for redistributing your code. Furthermore, I am hoping we can purge the non-free section, because we could benefit from having Octave-Forge hosted in GNU's Savannah servers alongside main Octave itself, and we cannot have non-free software in there. The problem isn't Octave or the GPL. The problem is that there is no free library that does what MOSEK does (or is there?). I would like to encourage you to attack the root problem instead of writing free wrappers for non-free libraries. - Jordi G.
