Dear Sebastien,
thanks a lot for you import and conversion of my SVN repository. Concerning the copyright issues you found:
1) fdjac.m and optget.m seem in fact isolated: I think they can simply be eliminated; 2) Sampling_Function_2.m is from my colleagues: what is the problem there? the reference to a book? or the list of JRC authors? In the latter case I think we can simply get their OK. 3) LPTAU.m: this is my own translation of the original FORTRAN code of Sobol' for quasi-MC sequence. Perhaps there is already the same QMC sequence generator in dynare?
best Marco

I have merged Global Sensitivity Analysis toolbox (GSA) into the main Dynare repository, keeping the history of the project.
The files are now organized as follows:
- matlab/gsa: main GSA files
- doc/gsa: documentation
- tests/gsa: example MOD files
Concerning the documentation, I incorporated it into the build system: it should be recompiled with "make pdf" provided you have a TeX installation.
Concerning the MATLAB files:
they are now automatically included in MATLAB path;
we will solve the indentation problems at the next global reindentation, just before the release of Dynare 4.3;
I began tackling copyright problems, by removing functions which had a bad copyright and were redundant with free functions provididing the same functionality (beta/gamma/gaussian CDF/quantile functions); Marco: please check commit cde4f038d74166ba016d3e10f961dc36c69afd1f for any mistake;
there are still copyright problems which need to be solved; I opened a ticket on that (https://www.dynare.org/trac/ticket/173). Marco: please have a look at the problematic functions and see if we can find a solution (replacing them by a free one, or getting the permission from the original author to distribute its file under GPL or public domain).
Best,
