[Rd] Implications of a Dependency on a GPLed Package

[Christian Sigg]

> I am aware of those discussions, and am not advocating for a change of the current practices of the CRAN maintainers. But if the current practices of the R project are in conflict with the FSF interpretation of the GPL, they need to be addressed.

Let me correct my last sentence to "..., this issue should be addressed." to avoid a possible misunderstanding. I am only asking for a clarification of the position of the CRAN maintainers and the R Foundation on this issue.

Best regards,
Christian
