Kathy,
You might find some relevant reading in volume 13 of the Journal of
Statistical Software: http://www.jstatsoft.org/v13
Some of the papers have a bit of discussion on why R has become more
widely used than lisp-stat.

The dedication of the developers and several other important things have
already been mentioned. Here are a few points I have not seen.

before GPL, and license issues were probably clouded with respect to

Something that I haven't seen mentioned yet that played a role in
my adopting R is the ability to create

The windows port of R has been very good for a long time. I know some
people who even think that the current windows port is better than the
Linux version. Thanks to those who have made the windows port
available and who continue to maintain it. I now use both MS Windows
and Linux (Fedora) and wo
Spencer,
I believe this is the first mention of pricing that I've seen. The
accommodation and consideration of contributed packages has been
addressed to some degree.
Several additional points have been made about the comparison of R to
Octave, some off list.

Hi, Kathy, John, et al.:
Has there been an answer to the question of why R has been much
more successful than Octave?
In this regard, can anyone provide a price comparison of student
versions for S-Plus and Matlab during R's gestation period, 10-15 years
ago? I had the impressio
Thanks to all who responded so thoughtfully. I would like to summarize
briefly the observations and opinions so far with some of my own
interpretations and thoughts. John Fox is working on a much deeper
history scheduled for August, and his three factors are a good starting
point.

For those of you who want to learn more about the history of the R
project: There will be an invited lecture by John Fox and Kurt Hornik at
this year's useR! conference in Dortmund in August (...unfortunately a bit
too late for Kathy) about "The Past, Present, and Future of the R Project"

A suggestion. As you gather your information about the history, I suggest you
put fingers to keyboard and write down the history. You could start with the
material Douglas just sent to you. Perhaps we can convince the R folks to place
the history on the CRAN website - perhaps in WIKI form

Earlier today I sent a question to Frank Harrell as an R developer with
whom I am most familiar. He suggested also that I put my questions to
the list for additional responses. Next month I'll be giving a talk on
R as an example of high quality open source software. I think there is
