Hi all, I would like to include a function that I have made by modifying an existing R function (bw.SJ and corresponding code in bandwidths.c). The header of bandwidths.c states:
/* * R : A Computer Language for Statistical Data Analysis * bandwidth.c by W. N. Venables and B. D. Ripley Copyright (C) 1994-2001 * Copyright (C) 2012 The R Core Team * * This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify * it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by * the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or * (at your option) any later version. ... */ so it was originally written by Bill Venables and Brian Ripley, who in 2012 passed the copyrights to the R core team. What do I need to do to ensure meet my obligations under the GPL and to adequately acknowledge the work of the original authors. Currently: * my package has a compatible license (also GPL >= 2), and * I have acknowledged the authors in the documentation for my function * In the code, I have retained the copyrights of the original authors Do I also need to include Brian, Bill or the R core team in the authors@R field in my DESCRIPTION (as contributors)? Is there anything else I should do? Thanks!
