Adrian, I am not on the CRAN or R-core teams, so the following is my own view, but...

R Package > Version 1.2-0, > URL: http://cran.r-project.org/package=QCA > > This is just an encouragement, not a requirement, and the official citation > file meets the CRAN policies. Would that be acceptable? > At the very least, this is seems to be a flagrant violation of the *spirit* of the CRAN policy, which AFAIK is intended to enforce acknowledgement of the contributions of all copyright holders in the package. The fact that you are trying to bypass the policy by suggesting users use an unofficial citation which would not comply with the policy while maintaining an official one which complies, but which you don't want users to see is probably a suggestion that you shouldn't do that.
