I don't think anyone is trying to circumvent R's license. However, as I
understand it, it's still possible for the code in rpy2 to be dual licensed
with a more permissive license, right? Anyone distributing a project which
includes rpy2 would still be bound by the GPL from R, but dual licensing
would allow easier movement of code between rpy2 and other Python projects.
