Hey Anamika,

I only caught the tail end of what became an off-topic thread, but backed up a 
bit to your original q. If I'm duplicating anything previous, apologies.

If you are going to ship your "product" to end users directly (vs provide via 
an API or web application) I'm not sure how you get around the "you have to 
ship your source code" problem (regardless of license issues). Even the best 
obfuscation is fairly easily overcome these days.

On a different note, apart from {RTextTools} and {tabulizer} (both of which 
aren't on CRAN so I couldn't just run a script against my mirror) you have the 
follow package licensing dependencies as well:

   License                                 n
 1 GPL-3                                   7
 2 MIT + file LICENSE                      7
 3 GPL (>= 2)                              5
 4 GPL-2                                   4
 5 GPL-2 | GPL-3                           4
 6 BSD 2-clause License + file LICENSE     1
 7 BSD_3_clause + file LICENSE             1
 8 file LICENSE                            1
 9 GPL-2 | file LICENSE                    1
10 MPL-2.0 | file LICENSE                  1

So, if you do end up distributing something you're going to need to plan for 
adhering to the requirements of each of those when it comes to how you have to 
message the use of them (and license for them) to end-users.

If this is a pay-for piece of software you're hoping to distribute directly to 
end users then I'd highly suggest seeking legal assistance from a firm that 
specializes in reviewing licensing situations. They abound these days and it'll 
ultimately be worth the expense (it shouldn't be too bad).
