Hi to the Devel list,
I am at present developping a little Excel add-in that would consist into a translation of John Fox RCommander package.
The idea is to have R code that recreates within Excel the menus and some VBA part that handles data input and outputs (those beeing redirected to HTML and imported within Excel in a user-transparent way).
Actualy, a first beyta version of this add-in exists and has been tested successfully on both Office 2000 and Office 2002, although John Fox didn't success to make it work on his Office 2003.
We intended to deliver this add-in as a component of the Rcmdr package. But Philippe Grosjean told me I may have problems with that as Excel is definitively not GPL... In a way, this add-in provides the R/Rmcdr-power to Excel.
What sort of exact problems can we expect to have? Should we consider to propose this as Open Source and not GPL? Do we have to obtain the agreement of the R Core Team?
Thanks,
Eric
