Thread Subject: SOFTPEDIA Matlab scripts

Hi,

I just saw one of my tools on softpedia(http://webscripts.softpedia.com)


I never submitted anything on that website. Lokking deeper I discovered that there are many others Matlab submissions.

I just want to know, how to submit tools on Softpedia?

Thanks

Luigi

Softpedia is a site that appears to scrape content from the File Exchange (among many other sources) and redistribute it through their site. They have never contacted us asking permission to do this. We have never encouraged them to do this. We have no relationship with them.

If you follow the links on their site, the actual download step appears to point back to our File Exchange database. So it would appear they have built a sort of a shell around the File Exchange infrastructure that facilitates their advertising platform.
