About glmmADMB and GPL: We were not very cautious when we put in the GPL statement. What we wanted to say was that the use of glmmADMB is free, and does not require a license for AD Model Builder.
Am I correct in interpreting this discussion so that all we have to do is to remove the "License: GPL" statement from the DESCRIPTION file (and everywhere else it may occur), and there will be no conflict between glmmADMB and the rules of the R community? We have temporarily withdrawn glmmADMB until this question has been settled. hans > Brian Ripley wrote: > >The issue in the glmmADMB example is not if they were required to release >it under GPL (my reading from the GPL FAQ is that they probably were not, >given that communication is between processes and the R code is >interpreted). >Rather, it is stated to be under GPL _but_ there is no source code offer >for the executables (and the GPL FAQ says that for anonymous FTP it should >be downloadable via the same site, and the principles apply equally to >HTTP sites).
