Information-theoretic functions

[Muthiah Annamalai-3]

Hello there,
I have a followup email to this discussion at,
http://www.cae.wisc.edu/pipermail/octave-sources/2006-November/000048.html

I have put the files contributed by Joseph Wakeling, into a form we can add
to our repository. But, can I put a GPL on it, and commit? or the license I
have to wait for Joseph's consent?

I have written to Joseph, but waiting for his reply.

Thanks,
Muthu

The previous e-mail says "offer to the community", however what exactly
that means and under what terms is completely unclear.. No you have to
get the original authors permission prior to putting these under a GPL.

Just to confirm my private email to Muthiah, I always intended for these
to be released as GPL.

In the longer run I really should take that code and integrate it with
Muthiah's functions.  Muthiah's take the appropriate probability values
and calculate entropy etc., so to ensure compatibility I should use his
functions to perform those tasks (my functions take sequence(s) of
events and calculate the probabilities first).
