[Sent offlist accidentally] What concerns me first and foremost is that the licensure would have to be ironclad (including for commercial use like vanilla R now) as well as ensuring that R remains completely FLOSS. Anything “added” to R has to be a no-strings-attached gift to R.
Also, I would think that it would have to play nice with existing workflows (like OpenBLAS instead of MKL) unless there is such a benefit that it is worth breaking compatibility.
