Your package is linking to Octave, because it's using oct files. It doesn't matter what license you choose for the plugin; you're linking the whole to Octave which is GPL, and Octave will not create a special exception for MOSEK. While we could just distribute your source and avoid binary distribution, this is awkward and sends the wrong message. Free MOSEK or don't distribute your plugin. The GPL is not Mr Nice Guy, and it won't be worked around. If your customers want to use Octave, explain to them that you won't allow it because you won't allow MOSEK to be free. - Jordi G.
