Hi,
Our company is interested of using R in our project. We want to have an
optional module in our product which calls R functions (using its API).
However we do not distribute R and the users who wish to use that module
have to install and configure R themselves. The module that contains calls
to R comes with free source code. The product is not free itself and no
source code is provided for other components (which do not use R). Does your
license allow us to do this?
R is as a whole licensed under the GPL version 2 (with a few parts
licensed differently; see RHOME/doc/COPYRIGHT for details). There are
many copyright holders, and asking in a mailing list like this will not
contact all of them. In fact, as far as I know, there is no easy way to
contact all of them. You are going to have to rely on your own legal
advice about whether your usage is GPL compatible, because if it is not,
you are unlikely to be able to negotiate an exception.
