I wrote the node References, and I know the policy that I wrote
it to describe.  We have always included modes for Emacs to work
with widely used nonfree tools, when that would mainly encourage
the users of those tools to use Emacs with them.

If you read further on in the node References, you'll see the text
that the exception that seems to cover referring to Matlab,
and the goals we should keep in mind about it.
