Hi,

I am developing a package and getting a NOTE from R CMD check about
licenses and ultimate dependencies on a restrictive license, which I
can't figure out how to fix.

My package imports flowCore, which has an Artistic-2.0 license.
But flowCore imports cytolib, which has a license from the Fred
Hutchinson Cancer Center that prohibits commercial use.

I tried using the same license as flowCore, but still get the NOTE. Does
anyone know which licenses can be used to be compatible with the Fred
Hutch license? Or can I just do what flowCore apparently does and ignore
the NOTE?

flowCore is a Bioconductor package, not on CRAN. Are you intending to send yours there, or to CRAN? I suspect Bioconductor is happy with the Hutch's license.
