Thanks, I'll look for the alternate citations. Unhopefully, the description of the project had to be sent to Google before July, 14 that is why I can't change the discription itself now, but I think I will manage to find alternate routines with the compatible license in the web.

As such, commons-math can not contain any code derived from these routines. The precedent we have established is to not allow any code developed using NR as a source and instead find alternate citations for the algorithms detailed in NR. I would suggest you change your focus from the PRNG routines laid out in NR and research some other routines. Two that come to my mind that have been released under public domain terms are George Marsaglia's "The Mother of All Random Number Generators" and the Mersenne Twister.
