With open source software, you can do anything you want on your own

Hi,

I'm working on a Python based suite for processing mass spectroscopy
data. The software will be open source.
My goal is to glue good solutions together, one of them is the R based
XCMS library.

The question is, if I am allowed to distribute the R.dll and the related
libraries together with my software, or
if it is better to ask the user to install these himself.

You are allowed to bundle those with your software as long as it is licenced under version 2 or 3 of the GPL, or under a compatible license. You need to be prepared to distribute the R source of whatever version you distribute, as well as the full source of your own project.

     Hi,

     I'm not sure if this is the right mailing list for my question,
     so please redirect me if this is the wrong place for the
     following question:

     Am I allowed to include R.dll and Rblas.dll in other software ?

     In my case I'm want to run some R commands from a Python script
     and save the results. I tried RPy2 which has some trouble running
     on Windows.

     Regards, Uwe
