Setting BuildVignettes: false
is fine if it is possible to build the vignettes, and the latter is checked in CRAN incoming checks (but not the daily checks).

Dear All, I have been checking the metafor package against R-devel. R CMD check --as-cran metafor yields one note: FOSS licence with BuildVignettes: false Yes, I have 'BuildVignettes: FALSE' in my DESCRIPTION file. I see at http://developer.r-project.org/blosxom.cgi/R-devel/NEWS: Tue, 25 Jun 2013 CHANGES IN R-devel UTILITIES 'R CMD check --as-cran' warns about a false value of the 'DESCRIPTION' field 'BuildVignettes' for Open Source packages, and ignores it (as an Open Source package needs to have complete sources for its vignettes). My questions are: 1) Is this going to be an issue if I submit a new version of the metafor package to CRAN right now? 2) And if the answer to 1 is "Not right now": Is this going to become an issue in the future? In other words, is it the goal to only allow packages with BuildVignettes=true if they have an FOSS license at some point in the future?
