Wishing alone does not make the facts go away. RPy / RPy2 still link to R,
and use its headers.
The GPL is hence suitable by its letter, and as I argue, also by its spirit.
It is known that Python folks disagree in the matter. Which is fine. You do
have a choice: You can eg use an Rserve client and connect over tcp/ip
("loose coupling", to pick up on my earlier terminology).
