Missing license version #144

Closed jenzopr closed 5 years ago

jenzopr commented 5 years ago

Dear maintainer,

We noticed that you list GPL as License in your Description file. Can you clarify the specific GPL version your package is licensed under (e.g. GPL-2 or GPL-3)?

On behalf of bioconda and conda-forge teams, Jens

Technical background

Your package is currently available on the bioconda conda channel. We'd like to migrated the package to conda-forge. conda-forge requires inclusion of the license text during packaging. The R distribution already contains some licenses, but GPL is not one of them (however, GPL-2 and GPL-3 are included). Let me know if you need further information.

Thanks for bringing this to my attention! I've changed GPL to GPL-3 on the master branch. I'm feeling like we're overdue for a post to CRAN. I've got some open issues I was hoping to get to but I may have to learn to accept those. So hopefully this change will arrive on CRAN sooner than later.
