similar to: non-infectious license for R package?

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

Dear All, thanks a lot for all the quick and helpful responses! I'm currently interested in the "stance" of this community towards closed source contributions. The way I understand it, currently my options are quite limited: I would most likely need to use a remote procedure call API, and build one side of the API as GPL. But this would make the coupling much slower and more

The key difference being that while not under the GPL, highcharter is still open source. There isn't a single compiled library in the entire package. WinBUGS otoh is closed source (although there is an open source version of it, OpenBUGS). As far as I understood, CRAN doesn't accept packages containing any binary executable code without the proper source files attached. So including the

There are also packages like highcharter, which package proprietary software without a license, but it is incumbent on the user to respect the license of the underlying library. -----Original Message----- From: R-devel [mailto:r-devel-bounces at r-project.org] On Behalf Of Joris Meys Sent: Friday, March 24, 2017 8:14 AM To: Marc Schwartz Cc: R-Devel Subject: Re: [Rd] non-infectious license for R

The problem is not specific to this list. Any kind of public list may mean that other subscribers (or even the whole world) can see your email address. So whenever you mail to a (public) list there is a good chance that afterwards, you will get more spam. Not really much can be done about it, at least not on the side of the list, since any of the subscribers may be a spammer, who can know... All

Hello, I'm very new to R and don't know much about it yet. I would like to develop R-programs that work with data of sizes of 10^10 - 10^11 data points. We have very-high-memory machines with ~256 GB, but it would significantly help if I could store the data points in single precision in RAM instead of double precision. Is that possible? In the documentation I found a sentence saying its

Hi, I have developed one application using ggmap package.It is based on google map. I am a bit confused regarding its licensing terms.I want to know that can i use it with my other applications.

I agree that no action should be taken. It's somewhat mystifying that the robot known as "Amy Kristen" responds so quickly after my post, and with such regularity (so far twice per hour), using perhaps several email addresses - and using the correct "Reply-To" headers. But more mystifying is that she keeps the same name the whole time. And lucky, I guess, because otherwise

Dear Olly, thanks a lot for the pointer! I've fetched the patch you mention but actually it seems this is already included in the 1.4.3 release, is that possible? Also it did not solve the problem, I still get references to exp10. I've checked with nm and omenquire.o has undefined references to log10 and exp10. I went further and replaced exp10 in omenquire.cc with __builtin_exp10, but

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,

Dear All, I've tried to build xapian-core 1.4.3 on MSYS2. It fails with attached error (undefined reference to `exp10'). I think it might be missing an explicit link to 'm'. I'm not able to fix this myself as I do not know autotools sufficiently well, but I hope you might be able to help. Cheers, Mario Emmenlauer -- BioDataAnalysis GmbH, Mario Emmenlauer Tel.

Dear R users, I have started work in a Statistics government department and I am trying to convince my bosses to install R on our computers (I can't do proper stats in Excel!!). They asked me to prove that this is a widely used software (and not just another free-source, bug infected toy I found on the web!) by suggesting other big organisations that use it.
