That's the big question: what is the IP status?
So Nathaniel and I asked, and the blog post author, Steve Eddins, took
the time to answer :
Nathaniel and Pierre—Thanks for your interest in the new parula
colormap. /Parula is the end result of a creative design effort over
an extended period of time. I am pleased that you find it so
appealing. The colormap is, however, MathWorks intellectual
property, and it would not be appropriate or acceptable to copy or
re-use it in non-MathWorks plotting tools./
You might look at other sources of high-quality colormaps. I have
listed some in my technical paper on rainbow colormaps, published
earlier this month on mathworks.com.

So they claim the IP. Next question is: is this claim valid, and I'm not
a lawyer to answer it. I suspect that the answer could be country specific.
The only things that bother me in this IP claim, is the status of all
the plots produced with this colormap. They are in a sense a
/derivative/ work, am I right ? So the question becomes : does Mathworks
owns IP right for all these plots ?!
