I usually use Scilab (which was already mentioned in that thread),
but I know about yet another Matlab clone, which is good as well - it is
Octave.
In fact it may be more friendly for Matlab users, because it usually
can accept the ".m" files without any modifications (there is a special
"-braindead" option which makes Octave even more Matlab compatible).
The Octave may be found at http://www.octave.org, it is open source,
and is licenced under the GPL license !!!
