Hello. I'd like to ask about license issue. Now I'm planning to make and sell some measurement system controlled by PC. There is no technical issue but I don't have enough information about license. I will do the following, 1) Install CentOS and my applications on the PC. 2) Sell the PC as a measurement device. 3) Distribute DVD made from CentOS iso image file to the user if

My impression from reading http://llvm.org/docs/DeveloperPolicy.html#clp is that it's intended to be possible to compile programs using llvm and distribute the resulting binaries freely. This does not seem to be the case. I'm assuming no portion of LLVM is included in the compiled binaries, only the runtime library components, so that the compiled binaries are not derived from LLVM.

Hi, at first I'm not part of the CentOS Project nor I'm a lawyer. But may I can answer your questions. According to the CentOS About page "CentOS Linux is no-cost and free to redistribute." [1]. So as you are planning to redistribute it should be fine to do. While redistributing you also need to consider the legal section [2]. However as you are planning a business you should

HI Sridhar, Try this: #I saved the file as .csv. ?testMaster<-read.csv("test1Master.csv") ?test2Sorted<-read.csv("test2Sorted.csv") testMaster1<-testMaster[order(testMaster[,1]),] test2Sorted1<-test2Sorted[order(test2Sorted[,1]),] Combinedat<-as.matrix(merge(testMaster1,test2Sorted1,by="X")) ?rownames(Combinedat)<-Combinedat[,1]

Hi, I use R at home, and am interested in using it at my work company (which is in the Fortune 100). I began the request, and our legal team has given some gruff about the open source license. Not boring you with the details here, but I used some info on gnu.org as a rebuttal, and someone at the company replied that the generalities of GNU GPL may differ from R's specific GNU GPL license,

Hi, I am unable to build the letor module. I am generating the configure file using autoconf.

Need help with this. Thank You Regards Karthik On Mon, Sep 29,

HI Helpers, How could we use R and R packages licensed under GPL into commercial products? Is it allowed to load a library and get the results from it and using the results for commercial use? Thank you so much! Regards, Yan [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

I'm looking for guidance or advice about the R license to use in preparing a package containing the Baseball Database from http://baseball1.com/statistics/ My main purpose is to make it available to students in a course, and to develop it with others I'd like to put it on R-Forge, and then perhaps make it public on CRAN. However, the page above bears a very restrictive copyright notice

Hi, I am C Karthik Iyer, a 3rd year B Tech student at NITK Surathkal. I am interested in working on projects on Information Retrieval and Machine Learning. I've had previous experience on working on projects regarding Question Answering Systems. I have a project idea which includes both IR and ML but i dont know how feasible the idea is. Could you guys say when will you be available

I really really do not like armchair lawyer discussions and this is just flamebait if I've ever seen it... --------------- #1 Is the submarine patent risk really that bad? (What's driving this) #2 Pragmatically have "you" even considered how to execute on this relicense plan? a. What if one of the copyright holders doesn't agree? b.

Dear Samba team, We have developed cross-platform multiprotocol intranet file searcher and it includes the module (SMB scanner for *nix) which uses libsmbclient to enumerate all files on smb shares ("uses" means including headers and linking with library). Other modules also use some external libraries, but all other libraries have LGPL license. We prefer to publish our

Guys, OK, now that we have the new core contributors squared away, we can go back to finishing the contributors list. There were some people who got added and then there is existing contributors list. I think Darren''s suggestion to wait to add new core contributors is fine (let the new constitution settle down and we can in the meanwhile have a more inclusive look at both rather than

My humble 2 nonlegal cents: There are multiple packages that make the link between R and proprietary software. One example is R2WinBUGS which connects to WinBUGS, but there are a lot more of these. All of these use essentially the same idea: - create the package under a standard GPL license - use the (command line) interface provided by the proprietary software to connect with it, eg by calls to

Hi. Is it possible (legally) to stream MP3s on Icecast that have been encoded with LAME encoder (http://lame.sourceforge.net/license.txt)? So if a composer writes a track, then saves in MP3 with LAME, and wants to distribute with Icecast server, is it legal? Must he get license for MP3 (http://mp3licensing.com/royalty/emd.html) and pay any royalties for MP3 DISTRIBUTING or STREAMING as it stated

Dear All, I've been following this mailing list for over three years now, but its just now that I have realized that R is licensed under GPL! :-) I'm not a lawyer and I don't want lawyer advice, but I'd like to get your feedback on a license question. My goal is to develop commercial software for image analysis of biomedical samples that may be used i.e. in academic institutions.

The Letor project involves descent amount of Machine Learning while all the ranking related projects are around IR. Its better to introduce your idea on mailing list where all the mentors can have a detailed look at it, potential mentors can respond and the idea is kind of registered under your name.
