Subject: [Rd] tzone DB lawsuit Implications for R-project?
Message-ID: <FFB0A46F-2B96-4A8E-8F7F-B47CB9E45F1D@gmail.com>

Does anyone from core have a comment on the implications for the R-project on this:

http://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/10/07/unix_time_zone_database_destroyed/

Given the inclusion of the TZ database with R as well as the functionality used by R, is this something that the FSF is looking at yet?

Best,Jeff
