Hi Duncan,
Yes we do follow the legal terms very carefully and make sure our general
counsel reviews all these stuff.
To answer your question, we do not distribute R. We distribute R-PLUS.
When users ask us about 'R license', it usually refers to potential hidden
costs. However you are right that explaining the GPL terms is paramount.
Thanks -

This statement is not correct. R is licensed under the GPL. This is a
"free software" license, but it is not the same as having no license.
There are obligations under the GPL that anyone who distributes GPL'd
software should be aware of.
Does XL Solutions distribute R? Does it follow its obligations under
the GPL?
