Hoping someone can clear up a licencing question... My understanding is that R is licensed under the GPL, with some headers licensed under the LGPL (per COPYRIGHTS, so that R plugins don't have to be GPL - arguably incorrect, but besides the point). JRI states that it is licensed under the LGPL - but it links against R shared libraries (or so is my understanding - please correct me if I'm wrong). This seems incompatible, as per (http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#GPLModuleLicense) if there is any GPL code in a compiled assembly, the resulting binary must be GPL, and per (http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#IfLibraryIsGPL) if a library is GPL, then anything that links against it must be GPL.
Anyone have any input here? Thanks Loki ______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
