Code: Licensing of former R code
Issue #9
closed
Clarify the licensing situation for the code which has been ported from R code in demodulate
and the file MDmwps.jl
. If this package is licensed as GPLv2, what was the licence for the R code, is it compatible, and please include any copyright notices of the original code if applicable.

reporter I’m not qualified to give a legal opinion, but my understanding is that because your work is GPL-2, and Chave’s Matlab code is ~BSD/MIT, this is fine now.

For Rahim’s R code
demodulate
from the R multitaper package, the license is GPL-2 so I’ve added a note [here](https://bitbucket.org/clhaley/multitaper.jl/commits/4938ac563731719bf667e6471343df4e14a80f78#chg-src/Demodulation.jl).For Chave’s matlab code
MDmwps
on the matlab file exchange, I’ve copied the license info at the bottom ofMDmwps.jl
(though that file does include some of my original routines as well). See [commit](https://bitbucket.org/clhaley/multitaper.jl/commits/10dae6a177d21f028b0da9c10f007f15828c55e1).I hope this properly documents the source.
