Hi, I use that mailing list because I?ve tried to send a message to the r-core address and received :>"Non-members are typically *NOT* allowed to post messages to this >private developers' list. Please use an appropriate mailing list (from >http://www.r-project.org/mail.html). For R packages, use >maintainer("<pkg>") in R (and if that is R-core at .., use the R-help >address).I would like to borrow most of the code of stats :: window within my package disaggR, which has an uncompatible license as it is MIT not GPL2. window has some extra overhead because of the calling of time() at the beginning of the function (that is only used for extend FALSE). Copying the function and modifying it would allow me a bit of optimization, but I need some agreement as my package is MIT. Is it possible ? Thanks, Arnaud FELDMANN
Questions about package development should be posted to R-package-devel (**not R-devel**). See https://www.r-project.org/mail.html for details. (I am not sure that they get into legal weeds there, but it seems like the right place to try).

Most of R has many, many authors, and some of us will not agree to changing the license to a more permissive form. Duncan Murdoch
