Hi Team

Thank you for your reply. I do not intend to use hard work of community and
earn profit on it. I do not intend to do  any changes or modifications in
existing R source code and build software over it. I am just using R as
language to develop my own work, the same way people use Java or python.

I just got confused with the licensing , as I thought i can't even use R as
a language to write code. But that's not the case right? The problem arises
only if I try to do modification in existing source code and then try to
convert it into proprietary.

No, that's not right. The problem comes if you try to distribute copies of R or R packages. You can write things in R and distribute your own code any way you like, but you have to be really careful how your users get R in order to run your code. The only rights you have to distribute copies of R and other packages come from their licenses. If you don't follow their licenses, you may be in violation of their copyright.

I am sorry , it all came out in wrong way.I didn't intended to hurt anyones
sentiment.

I totally love the community and it's work so far. And hope someday , I'll
be have enough knowledge, so that I can  give back to community.

Regards
Anamika

Hello Team,

This mail is in reference to understanding R  license and also usage of  R
language to develop commercialised product.

I am working on one product of mine that uses R and python language.I am
trying to understand the licensing issue if any related to R, if I am going
to commercialise my product and keep my work proprietary.

I need your help to understand it. R comes under GNU-GPL-2.0. Now, do I
need to share source code of my product. if, I am moving planning  to move
