No, it was precisely my *point* that Matlab is proprietary. The medical researchers I knew a few years ago refused to use R on the grounds that the international agencies they dealt with all used SAS, which is proprietary. So I am wondering if "ALL programs that our employees/PROVIDERS use" includes things like Windows, Excel, SAS, Matlab, Oracle, DB2, ..." and if so how the IT department could credibly vet them.
