It at least violates the spirit of the various licenses under which R and the CRAN packaging policies are distributed. I'm suggesting that those people who support an open source basis of R not continue to use Rhelp as a venue for an effort to undermine the openness of coding supported by R. If Bob disagrees with me, he is at liberty to correspond with you privately. I have no authority to enforce such advice, and anyone is free to opine on the ethics and legality of this proposed effort. -- David. > > > On Fri, Oct 14, 2016 at 9:55 AM, Bob Rudis wrote: >> Ugly idea/option, but you could base64 encode the R script (solely to >> avoid the need to do string quoting) and have that string in the >> source of the R.net code, then pass it in to the eval portion or write >> it out to a temp dir and pass that to the eval portion of the code. >> That way the script is embedded with the DLL and not an extra asset >> that needs to be managed. >> >> On Fri, Oct 14, 2016 at 10:43 AM, Narendra Modi >> wrote: >>> Thanks Duncan.

The R scripts will be only a small part of that. Sharing less than that is a copyright violation, since you are only licensed to distribute R under the GPL license, and it requires that you share code of the original and your modifications.

Hi Bob, Could you explain a bit more on this? How do I use/configure base64? Any document/example do you have?

Re: [R] Share R.net dll without having to share R script code?
Ugly idea/option, but you could base64 encode the R script (solely to avoid the need to do string quoting) and have that string in the source of the R.net code, then pass it in to the eval portion or write it out to a temp dir and pass that to the eval portion of the code. That way the script is embedded with the DLL and not an extra asset that needs to be managed. On Fri, Oct 14, 2016 at 10:43 AM, Narendra Modi wrote: > Thanks Duncan.

[R] Share R.net dll without having to share R script code?
Hello Gurus, I have built a code snippet using R.net wherein I call couple of R scripts to run optimization packages and use the output in C# code. The way I call the R scripts is just by providing its location in the C# code. So, if I have to share the .dll of the complete program, I will also have to share the R scripts; actual code. Is there anyway to avoid it; not having to share the r script code with users/testers. I am considerably new to R. Any suggestion in this direction is appreciated!
