If your intention is that people can write code to call rpy2
(installed separately) without being bound by the terms of the GPL,
you may want to make this clear in the public description of the
licensing, because that's not clearly the normal interpretation of the
GPL. I think this is permissible - code written in R is not bound by
the GPL simply because it uses the language, so it would be hard to
argue that code written with Python syntax to perform the same
operations using R should be bound by the GPL.
Is there really a need to write all permissible usages ? The list can
get really long.
My intention is to release rpy2 with a license that appears to comply
with R's license, as the majority here seems to believe that it should
be the case. I am only pointing out here that proponents of BSD-type
licensing can try out their interpretation of licensing with their own
library calling rpy2.
Also, keeping the full sentence, or even better the full email, when
quoting someone could be perceived less misleading.
