That's a fair reason for the AGPL license choice for RStudio. It is a product-like software project after all. My experience with corporate legal is that they are much more wary of GPL software than strictly necessary – hence the warning about AGPL since ease of use != ease of permission. (We've had JuliaBox fire-walled from a few big banks, albeit not for license reasons, but because they don't want private data on the cloud, so it's a familiar issue.) I had a hard time finding any mention of the AGPL on the RStudio site, including some broken links.
Congrats on the release! RStudio pushes the envelope on very many data analytics UI features. Excellent work.
- yihui 10y agoJust for the record, if you follow the Download RStudio link on the RStudio homepage, or go to Products -> RStudio, you will see the license clearly mentioned before you try to download RStudio. AGPL is also displayed in our Github repository if anybody cares about looking at the source repository: https://github.com/rstudio/rstudio https://github.com/rstudio/rstudio So I don't know why it was so hard for you to find the mention of AGPL...
