Regarding licenses, dplyr is under MIT, see: https://github.com/tidyverse/dplyr/blob/master/LICENSE.md. However, other packages are under GPL2.
Here are all the packages that sparklyr currently depends on and their associated license (This was retrieved from https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=<package-name>, since R package repo (CRAN) requires their license to be clearly defined). assertthat: GPL-3 base64enc: GPL-2 | GPL-3 config: GPL-3 DBI: LGPL-2 | LGPL-2.1 | LGPL-3 dplyr: MIT dbplyr: MIT digest: GPL-2 | GPL-3 forge: Apache generics: GPL-2 httr: MIT jsonlite: MIT openssl: MIT purrr: GPL-3 r2d3: BSD-3 rappdirs: MIT rlang: GPL-3 rprojroot: GPL-3 rstudioapi: MIT tibble: MIT tidyr: MIT withr: GPL-2 | GPL-3 xml2: GPL-2 | GPL-3 ellipsis: GPL-3 On Mon, Oct 21, 2019 at 1:12 AM Justin Mclean <jus...@classsoftware.com> wrote: > Hi, > > I also concerned that the initial committer list only contains 3 > committers.
