The R Foundation is not "nonexistent", but our answer to the questions
about compatibility and harmlessness are in the banner you get when you
start it:
R is free software and comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY.

the GPL v2, which you can see by running
RShowDoc("COPYING")
from within R.

On the other hand, if you can't figure out what is really going on, and you can
loosen up some funds, you can probably get Revolutions R to provider you with
commercial support.
