This is false. Please don't confuse "commercial" (Red Hat and SuSE GNU/Linux distributions are commercial software) with "proprietary".

Ooops! Sorry, and thank you for correcting me. I mean "proprietary", of course. Best,

However, is the above statement correct? To me it seems like there is a fully working R-proxy dll for windows and other ways to interface against R that only binds to LGPL components. You can build completely proprietary packages and front-ends to R without having to make sources available, as long as you distribute changes to R itself as source.
In my opinion anyone can be to R what S+ is to S. Can any developer comment on this?
Best regards,
David
