Bob,
thanks - oddly, it didn't show when I tested it on Catalina, there must be a flag somewhere. As discussed before we cannot notarize any version of R before 4.0.0 so Catalina users have to either stick to 3.5.1 (since Apple has grand-fathered installers create before Catalina) or use the Ctrl+click way to install R 3.6.2.
Cheers,
Simon

While easily remedied via right-click + open, out-of-the-box installer gives the Apple daft (and technically incorrect since Apple could most certainly check it for malicious software):
?R-3.6.2.pkg? can?t be opened because Apple cannot check it for malicious software.
message.
Here's what spctl returns:
$ spctl -a -vv -t install R-3.6.2.pkg
R-3.6.2.pkg: rejected
source=Unnotarized Developer ID

NOTE: R & R.app work fine once installed.
Not sure if this is going to cause consternation in "corporate" environments.
