@Suiseiseki@freesoftwareextremist.com This is not a "slight inconvenience" but an interoperability / correctness problem. I was using Matlab exactly because I was trying to understand the behavior of its proprietary implementation of an algorithm. Once it's fully understood, it would then be possible to replace it. I'm "glad" in the sense that I don't need to waste extra time on it.

BTW, many years ago I remember reading an article on either fsf, gnu, or stallman.org, and near the end, it says "the only acceptable use of proprietary software is for the purpose of reverse engineering and getting rid of it." I can't find it anymore, I challenge you to find its URL.
