actually, the author responded and said that “GPL” in the package’s DESCRIPTION file just means “any GPL version”. Here’s the comment: https://github.com/yihui/knitr/issues/566#issuecomment-140095735 The licensing guidelines for R packages state that “Abbreviations GPL and LGPL are ambiguous and usually taken to mean any version of the license” In this case “gpl2+” is probably correct, but you may want to add a comment above the ‘(license ...)’ expression to state that any GPL version may be picked by users here. What do others think? ~~ Ricardo
