Hello, I wish to package the nutshell package. I need help to understand which license is relevant. The upstream page at http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/nutshell/index.html says that the license is "file LICENSE". This is further explained at http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/nutshell/LICENSE as [snip] The audioscrobbler data is made avaialable under the following Creative Commons license: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/1.0/ All other data files are made available under a Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 United States License: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/us [/snip] So, which version of the creative commons license is appropriate ? Thanks and regards, -- Pai

You would need to strip out this data. You might ask the upstream project if they'd put it in a separate distribution themselves.>All other data files are made available under a Creative Commons >Attribution 3.0 United States License: > > http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/usThat sounds fine. But it says 'data files'. Did you find out what licence applies to the code itself? -- Ed Avis <eda at waniasset.com> ______________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned by the MessageLabs Email Security System.
