Please don't use 'Unlimited' or 'Unlimited + ...'. Google's lawyers don't recognize 'Unlimited' as being open-source, so our policy doesn't allow us to use such packages due to lack of an acceptable license. To our lawyers, 'Unlimited + file LICENSE' means something very different than it presumably means to Uwe. Thanks, Karl On Sat, Jan 14,

Unfortunately, our lawyers say that they can't give legal advice in this context. My question would be, what are people looking for that the MIT or 2-clause BSD license don't provide? They're short, clear, widely accepted and very permissive. Another possibility might be to dual-license packages with both an OSI-approved license and whatever-else-you-like, e.g. 'MIT |

Dear all, from "Writing R Extensions": The string ?Unlimited?, meaning that there are no restrictions on distribution or use other than those imposed by relevant laws (including copyright laws). If a package license restricts a base license (where permitted, e.g., using GPL-3 or AGPL-3 with an attribution clause), the additional terms should be placed in file LICENSE (or LICENCE),

The Free Software Foundation maintains a list of free and GPL-compatible software licenses here: https://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.en.html#Unlicense It appears that Unlicense is considered a free and GPL-compatible license; however, the page does suggest using CC0 instead (which is indeed a license approved / recognized by CRAN). CC0 appears to be the primary license recommended by the

I don't see why Charles' question should be taken as anything other than an honest request for information. As for me, I've never heard of this license, but if CRAN doesn't have an option to license software in the public domain, then I would support the inclusion of some such option. FWIW, searching for "public domain software license" on Google turns up unlicense.org

Just built 3.6.3 from source and tcl doesn't work. Worked fine with the same laptop in 3.6.2. Here's the exact error. blurfle$ R --vanilla R version 3.6.3 (2020-02-29) -- "Holding the Windsock" Copyright (C) 2020 The R Foundation for Statistical Computing Platform: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu (64-bit) R is free software and comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY.

OK. I give up. I'll ask a stupid question. How do I get the $!#@*$ signif stars line printed by summaries to not look extremely bizarre in the latex produced by Sweave? For example, see p. 7 of http://www.stat.umn.edu/geyer/aster/library/aster/doc/tutor.pdf I can see what the problem is. R emits non-ascii characters (as it is supposed to do), Sweave puts them in the tex file, and

is it possible to set an option inside a function ((I want to set na.action = na.fail) and have the previous state restored if there is an error so that the function doesn't change the option behind the user's back?

I knew I could work around. But this shouldn't happen. And yes.

I have a design problem. I'm trying to design a package that does something like glm, but 1. the response is multivariate, so I can't be just like glm and get the response variables out of the formula. I decided (perhaps incorrectly) to just supply the response variable names as an argument "response". 2. I have the usual predictor variables. 3. I

The functions metrop and temper in the mcmc package have a debug = FALSE argument that when TRUE adds a lot of debugging information to the returned list. This is absolutely necessary to test the functions, because one generally knows nothing about the simulated distribution except what what one learns from MCMC samples. Hence you must expose all details of the simulation to have any hope of

Sorry if I was supposed to file a bug report, but I don't know whether we're supposed to do that on R devel. I just built R devel from source (2010-06-15 r52280) and tried to check a package with it and Sweave failed on the vignette. It puts the line \usepackage{/HOME/faculty/charlie/local/devel/lib64/R/share/texmf/Sweave} in the *.tex file but, that's not where Sweave.sty is oak$

R CMD check --use-valgrind <packagename> used to run valgrind on the tests in the tests directory of the package. But it seems to have stopped. R-2.9.1 doesn't -- at least on my box -- and neither does R-2.10.0 (devel). I am not sure when this stopped. I think 2.8.x did this. The only old R I have around is 2.6.0 and it certainly does. R CMD check --help for 2.9.1 says (among other

I think I am using objects according to the man page. This seems to be a valid regular expression. But whether I know what I'm doing or no, it still shouldn't be doing what valgrind seems to be saying it's doing.

The subject line says it all. How can I find what Error: cannot set length of non-vector means? RTFS is no help. I can find out of course that it comes from "lengthgets", but who called that? Not me! The situation is as follows. I am trying to get a package ready for CRAN. Every time I run "R CMD check" I get this error when building the package vignette. But (!)

Hello dear Tincers! I recently developed an extension to tinc 1.0.x protocol which introduces automatic and decentralized hosts update subsystem. The idea is to provide stable protocol extension to tinc which will do all the dirty work of spreading information about new hosts in network across all nodes by powers of tinc itself. If you're interested, you can take a look at the diff made for
