What kind of warranty does SAS offer? I haven't read their EULA
recently, but if an airplane fell out of the sky because of a bug in SAS
code, I'd be surprised if SAS was eager to pay damages!

SAS says it has noticed R’s rising popularity at universities,

“I think it addresses a niche market for high-end data analysts that
want free, readily available code," said Anne H. Milley, director of
technology product marketing at SAS. She adds, “We have customers who
build engines for aircraft. I am happy they are not using freeware
when I get on a jet.”
Thanks for posting. Does anyone else find the statement by SAS to be
humourous yet arrogant and short-sighted?
there must be something wrong with me, but i can't find anything
'humorous yet arrogant and short-sighted' in the idea that engines for
aircraft be built with software that does not advertise itself with
'ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY.'
