Hi, I am new to this forum, and hopefully am sending the post to the right avenue (and in the appropriate format). I am planning to prepare a (to be commercially sold) book in near future, in which I expect to use some screenshots from R (running on Windows), and also graphic outputs from some of the packages.. I am just wondering are there any legal requirements (in respect to copyright/permission of use issue) involved for such commercial use?.
We do not give legal advice. Nevertheless, R is licensed under the GPL 2 or GPL 3. You have to look up the license situations for the used packages yourself. Both, the authors of R and the package would probably appreciate if you cite the software you used. See ?citation in R. Best, Uwe Ligges
