Title: No need to defend someone else's trademark

Hi, a small request. :-)

You don't need to be defending the Matlab trademark. That is their job, not yours. Your work is not derivative work of Matlab, so there can be no copyright violation, and just mentioning Matlab here does not hurt its trademark, so it's unlikely that the Mathworks lawyers will come after you insisting that you defend their trademark.

As it is, defending someone else's trademark just sounds like kowtowing. You don't owe the Mathworks anything. So don't defend their trademark.
