As others have pointed out, you can download and use R for commercial purposes for free. This is allowed under the terms of the GPL under which R is licensed.
If your company requires software to be professionally supported, you might want to consider purchasing a version of R that includes a support subscription. (The GPL doesn't preclude companies charging for open-source software.) REvolution Computing (whom I work for) offers a version of R called RPro that includes support and additional documentation, and the binary is optimized with high-performance math libraries. You can find information about it at the link in my signature. # David Smith -- David Smith <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Director of Community, REvolution Computing www.revolution-computing.com Tel: (206) 577-4778 x3203 On Mon, Oct 27, 2008 at 6:04 AM, Freiberger, Katrin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Dear All, > > I learned about R during my studies at Cologne University of Applied Science. > Now I work at Allianz Dresdner Bauspar AG and I would like to install R here > too.
