I think Eric and I are already talking. GPLv2 of Rserve is a concern for Apache

this is likely why it was reimplemented a few months ago.

Our implementation uses REngine and Rserve licensed under GPL2, which is 

not compatible with Apache license. 


Read "Is the Apache license comptabile with the GPL (GNU Public 

Licesnse)" on http://www.apache.org/foundation/license-faq.html#GPL
