[R-pkg-devel] roxygen style documentation for data sets

[Michael L Friendly]

Yes, if usethis is the most useful place for this to be, I suppose I should first flag this as an issue, and then issue a PR for my code.

I don't understand the fine distinctions between GPL-2 and MIT licensed code.

Perhaps some other developers can chime in here.

Perhaps a pull request to https://github.com/r-lib/usethis/pulls ?

Should this function be considered a work derived from R? If yes, then (in my non-lawyer opinion) it retains its ownership by R Core and being licensed under GPL-2, which may be a problem for MIT-licensed usethis.
