Dear R-devel, REvolution appear to be offering ParallelR only when bundled with their R Enterprise edition. As such it appears to be non-free and closed source. http://www.revolution-computing.com/products/parallel-r.php Since R is GPL and not LGPL, is this a breach of the GPL ? Below is the "GPL and ParallelR" thread from their R forum....

Anyone using or has access to ParallelR? I was looking at the page and found nothing really useful! http://www.revolution-computing.com/sitegenius/topic.php?id=195 I want to see if I can run R on a cluster of workstation, and use batch systems like Grid Engine or Xgrid: http://gridengine.sunsource.net/ http://ww.apple.com/acg/xgrid/...

...er of time until that package will be imitated with an open source package, so there is a brief commercial life for any R package. That said, REvolution is working that commercial innovation space, while seeding key packages into open source all the time. So there is a version of NWS (the guts of ParallelR) available now under GPL. Internal discussions about when to open other packages relating to ParallelR are currently underway. I'm satisfied that REvolution is very aware of and has been thinking about licensing questions since their beginning and that we will continue to work as a member of...

Boisvert, Revolution Computing board member. ?With this investment, Revolution Computing can deliver the type of performance that has been missing in existing computational statistics offerings."

...le than ever before. Productively using HPC computing has remained surprisingly difficult, particularly with high-level scripted languages like R. Fortunately, that is changing. The last few years have seen significant gains in high-quality HPC computing-related packages for R including RMPI, SNOW, ParallelR and many more. This one-day course will present an overview of available HPC technologies for the R language, and will demonstrate each technology with simple examples that can be used as starting points for more sophisticated work.

Hello dear R-help group (and David Smith from REvolution), I would like to perform parallel computing using R with Condor (hopefully using foreach or other recommended solutions, if available) for some "Embarrassingly parallel" problem. I will start by listing what I found so far, and then go on asking for help. So far I found the a manual by Xianhong Xie from Rnews_2005-2 (see page

...tat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-help/2008-November/179908.html) and an email by Prof. Leisch https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-devel/2009-April/053141.html where he mentions ongoing discussions in R Core and the R Foundation. However, these discussions might have only considered Revolution Analytic's ParallelR (the main topic of that thread), and I could not find a follow-up email where the result of that discussion was published. Did the CRAN maintainers and the R Foundation publish an agreed upon position on the FSF interpretation of the GPL quoted above, and I simply missed it? If yes, could it be ad...
