Hi, Sound good. I'll worry about getting it to work rather than making it GPL-compatible.
A little off-topic now, but I wrote an article for the wiki on adding functions to the Calc code: http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Hacking_Calc_-_Adding_Functions Feel free to comment, add, etc. Thanks, Wojciech On 5/1/07, Kohei Yoshida <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

Initially, you could probably put your external R package somewhere on your website, sourceforge etc. that are separate from the OO.o website, then put a URL to it on the Calc page (or something). Later when the licensing issue gets resolved, we can put the code into the main tree. Anyway, we should probably come back to this topic later when we have something to distribute. ;-) > > 2.

You'll need to release the package under GPL, of course, but as long as it's an external package, there shouldn't be any licensing issue (that I see). Hope this helps.
