Great!! That closes many discussions about "Scilab is FOSS or not" CeCILL version 2 license is a free software license as mentioned here: http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/license-list.html However, I was not able to know from the Scilab website if the license is CeCILL version 2. Thanks for the info. Now, we will be able to push Scilab in colleges.
