Re: [R-pkg-devel] script translation - good practice?

Yes. Check out

https://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.en.html#GPLCompatibleLicenses

and also note that CC-BY is not recommended as a software license (by CC 
themselves). As there is one-way compatibility, it should be possible to 
clarify the situation by putting your derivative work under the GPL.

Although not legally required, it would probably be good manners to inform the 
original authors.

Thank you Peter for your response,

It looks ok for the license. The journal's content appears to be under 
this license:

https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/

I would expect that it depends on what license it was published under 
originally. If it doesn't explicitly allow the creation of derivative works, 
then I would be wary.

Hi everyone,

I just rewrote a bit of Matlab code into R and that I would like to make it 
available for the community.
Unfortunately this bit of code has been published by authors that I've never 
contacted.

I was wondering if I could submit a package to CRAN by keeping the same license 
as the journal in which the code was published and citing the paper and the 
authors.
Can I associate myself as [cre, trl] in the description file?

Thanks,
Raphael

I would expect that it depends on what license it was published under
