[R-SIG-Finance] Would you be interested in testing an R package for receiving market data from Thomson Reuters?

[Paul Gilbert]

I am a bit confused about what one would need to pay for in the end, 
after the free testing. Does the "Coherent Datafeed package" include 
re-licencing of the API code from Reuters (possibly something from 
https://customers.reuters.com/developer/choosingtherightapi.aspx), or is 
that needed too, so the package is just the R part of the mix? I'm 
guessing it does not actually include data, for which one would need to 
pay Reuters?
