R help - Nov 2008 - Using R from C++ code

Hi,

I'm developing a C++ software and I would like to connect R (sometimes 
on another computer). In my project I'm using a MySQL client with GPL 
license and FOSS exception, meaning that I can't use any other GPL 
licensed components in the project. It seems that all portable (must 
work on Windows and Linux) connection solutions are GPL licensed. Is 
there any way to use some portable R connection library with FOSS 
exception compatible license?

Thank you,
Janne K?tev?

Your reading of the referenced page is completely different than  
mine, ... but IANAL.

In particular:
Q3: Can an open source software project combine and distribute any of  
Sun?s GPL-licensed MySQL software with other open source software  
under the FOSS License Exception?

     A: Open source software projects and other developers are free to  
use and distribute GPL-licensed MySQL software with other open source  
software as long as they comply with the terms of the GPL.
