For a project I am porting some of R's source code, and I want to get the license for my project correct, but the top level COPYING file for R's source states GPL v2, but when using:> license() (which also states GPL version 2) points me towards: > RShowDoc('COPYING') which states GPL v3. Which is correct?
It does not, at least in R 2.8.0 (and I am pretty sure in no version of R). What exactly are you looking at?
Many files in R are licensed under GPL 2 or later, but not all. All non-trivial source files should have a header giving the licence terms for that file.
Thanks for clarification (and the amazing amount of code!). Gabriel ______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
