Re: [Rd] Implications of a Dependency on a GPLed Package

2013-01-25 Thread Marc Schwartz
lly only comes into play when distributing/copying software beyond yourself or perhaps your organization and even in that case, there are scenarios that would allow for multiple licenses to be used and there is a fair amount of commercial software that is distributed in that fashion. The GPL components are distributed intact and source is made available, while it is possible that "proprietary" components are also packaged together as part of the "whole". There are non-GPL and non-GPL compatible packages on CRAN and this topic has come up for [heated] discussion in the past. The CRAN maintainers have not placed GPL or GPL compatible only restrictions on the packages on CRAN. That there are such packages on CRAN is not a legal issue vis-a-vis the GPL, but a philosophical one, which is where the heated discussions tend to arise from. I would also point out that there are R packages not on CRAN that have been made available and the same licensing parameters apply.

Recognizing that I am coming to this discussion quite late, how about: int [1:10(1d)] 5 5 9 23 26 16 9 4 2 1 ? I do think that any str() representation that includes a ',' would continue to reinforce the current misunderstandings pertaining to a 1d array. Since using str() is a common response to posts on r-help regarding how to access components of an object, there will be naive users who would see something like (using Prof. Ripley's example): > str(f) 'table' int [, 1:11] 1 9 15 21 15 17 13 5 1 2 ... - attr(*, "dimnames")=List of 1 ..$ : chr [1:11] "0" "1" "2" "3" ... and then think that they could do: > f[, 1] Error in f[, 1] : incorrect number of dimensions which of course they cannot. I think that the above change would help to reinforce the notion that a 1d array can, for the most part, be treated as an atomic vector. However, as Prof. Ripley has noted, there is a subtle difference in how names/dimnames are treated. The use of '(1d)' in the str() output would make it clear that this object is not quite a simple atomic vector, but when indexing, can be treated as such.

mistaken in what you are looking for: plot(x, y, ylim = c(0, max(y))) would seem do what you want. If otherwise unspecified, plot() uses range(y) to define 'ylim'. HTH, Marc Schwartz __ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
