(It had some GPL-3 code, but was released under > GPL-2.)Two places to look for such information on CRAN: - Where a fair amount of information needs to be given (like exactly which versions have been removed), there may be a README in the Archive directory. E.g. http://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/sdcTable/README , and I have added one for Rglpk. - There is a DCF file http://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/PACKAGES.in which acts as the database which R CMD check --as-cran consults. That contains concise records of archival and removal. Its coverage is pretty good for the last three years. -- Brian D.
