Hello,
I noticed a mismatch between the license declarations in different parts of the repository:
- DESCRIPTION specifies GPL-2
- README.md states GPL-2-or-later
- Most R source files include headers indicating GPL-1-or-later or Artistic License 2.0
While this does not appear to introduce a licensing conflict—since GPL-1-or-later / Artistic-2.0 is permissive enough to accommodate the other statements—the inconsistency can be confusing for automated license-scanning tools, such as those we use in Debian.
Would you consider updating DESCRIPTION to something like GPL (>= 2) and aligning the source file headers with the README, so that all license declarations are consistent?
Thank you for your time, and have a nice day.
Best regards,
Charles Plessy
