Scilab is not Free Software.

"Although the Scilab web page describes it as "open
source" software, it does not satisfy the Open Source
Definition as published by the Open Source Initiative,
because Scilab's license does not permit commercial
redistribution of modified versions [3]. For the same
reason, Scilab is not free software according to the
definition of the Free Software Foundation, although
it is distributed free of charge."
