I have a very little idea about these license issue. So can you please
decide for me which text to use and I'll use it. Yes I uploaded on the
mathworks website but if there is a problem I can just delete my function
from there since I am much more willing to contribute to an open source
project.

As for the other concerns regarding the function I'll fix them accordingly
and upload it.

thanks for the help
