By "mex-dll" I presume you mean compiled mex files without
the Fortran or C/C++ source code. I consider mex source code
to be open as much as m-code is. The user can see everything
in a Fortran or C/C++ source file and examine it before
compiling and running it. All of my FEX submissions so far
have been mex source code (no dll), either to be compiled by
the user into useful (I hope) functions to be called by
anyone (even non-mex programmers), or as examples for other
mex programmers to use.
