He is the copyright owner of the file. Can't he release it several times with as many different licenses as he wishes? He had no copyright notice at the start and when requested, he added the simplified BSD (which is GPL compatible and perfectly acceptable on octave forge). I think he has already decided. About the extra File Exchange restriction. It only relates to code that was downloaded from there right? A version of the code is being hosted there, but it was not downloaded from there. It was sent to us directly. This means no problem for us as well, right?
