You answer something that was never in any way part of my question. Per
Writing R Extensions, Section 1.1.2:
Whereas you should feel free to include a license file in your
_source_ distribution, please do not arrange to _install_ yet another
copy of the GNU ‘COPYING’ or ‘COPYING.LIB’ files but refer to the copies
on <https://www.R-project.org/Licenses/> and included in the R
distribution (in directory ‘share/licenses’).
My question was *explicitly* about what URL *link* would be recommended to
avoid timing out under R CMD check (also see Subject: of this thread).
I think I may just link to the R-project site.
