[R] Using R from C++ code

[David Winsemius]

Your reading of the referenced page is completely different than  
mine, ... but IANAL.

In particular:
Q3: Can an open source software project combine and distribute any of  
Sun’s GPL-licensed MySQL software with other open source software  
under the FOSS License Exception?

     A: Open source software projects and other developers are free to  
use and distribute GPL-licensed MySQL software with other open source  
software as long as they comply with the terms of the GPL.
