I think the web page clearly states that R is indeed distributed under
the terms of the GPL ... and if you use R you get a pointer to the GPL
every time you start it.

Dear Mr. Leisch,

I was asked by one of our faculty members at Johns Hopkins University to assist him in 
licensing a software application that he has developed. This package is based on R, 
the statistical software that is distributed as freeware. In the course of my due 
diligence analysis, I reviewed the official R web page which states that R is an 
official part of the Free Software Foundation's GNU project. However, it does not 
explicitly state under which License Agreement R is made available. Reviewing the GNU 
official web page, I assume that R is made available under the GNU General Public 
License. I would, however, appreciate if you could confirm that this information is 
correct. 

I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Mit besten Gruessen,

Sigrid Volko
