This link will hopefully clarify this.

http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#WindowsRuntimeAndGPL

This FAQ does not make the distinction between whether the installer contains the run-time libraries or not. Based on the verbiage in the GPL (explained in the other mail) I therefore think that this FAQ assumes that the installer does not contain the run-time libraries.

(Just for the record, I didn't find back this verbiage in GPLv3). Grand. I'll strip symbolic package from future octave binary releases. Michael.
