Hi
As you have seen, I have fixed most copyright headers in Dynare SVN.
The remaining problems are listed on: http://www.cepremap.cnrs.fr/DynareWiki/LicenseProblems
The work to be done is the following:
1) Confirm with Gary that his AIM files are in the public domain
2) Ask Marco Ratto if we can distribute his files under the GPL
3) Ask Tomasso Mancini if we can distribute his userguide under the GFDL. Moreover, at this time, we can't recompile the PDF from the LaTeX files in the SVN (the bibliography file is outdated, we lack the cover page)
4) There are two files which do a generalized cholesky, written by Jeff Gill. I don't know if we should contact the author or write an alternative
5) The remaining files are used to compute pdf, cdf and quantiles of several distributions. All these functions exist natively under Octave: http://www.gnu.org/software/octave/doc/interpreter/Distributions.html Some of the Octave functions are written in script language, so we can directly incorporate them into Dynare; others use DLLs, so in those cases we must write an alternative in a M-file. Stéphane also said to me that he intend to write a DLL linked to GSL for all thoses functions.
