I have been worried about this problem. This, in effect, is a GPL violation. It's worrying that we are sanctioning Octave binaries that are in violation of the GPL. You say you don't have time, but all you have to do is publish your modified sources. You don't have to clean up the patches or worry if they will or won't be included in the main repository. Please just dump your changes without worrying if we'll like it or not. We ought to be sharing the efforts for Windows compilation anyways if we're going to be making better Windows binaries as a community. - Jordi G.
