Firstly, I would like to ask about the spline-gcvspl package, which provides a nice way to smooth data. What is the origin of the non-free license? I looked at the source link for the fortran dependency and performed a google search, but I cannot find the posted license anywhere. Does the non-free license (dated 1986) still apply? Other references on the web, including a Matlab mex interface, seem to imply that this code is public domain, or at least provide no copyright/license information at all.
Secondly, I have written a set of functions that implements data smoothing by Tikhonov regularization. For most cases it performs at least as well as the gcvspl method, especially when looking at derivatives of the data. The code will be under the GPL and is written completely in m-files. My question is: should I put the functions in an existing octave-forge package or create a new one? They shouldn't go in splines since a spline method isn't used. How about a "data-smoothing" package or perhaps a "regularization" package?
