SNAP R integration #132

Closed thomasp85 closed 6 years ago

thomasp85 commented 6 years ago

This is both an FYI and a question of license and attribution

I'm planning on building an Rcpp integration of SNAP that would allow R developers to access the SNAP C++ API without including SNAP directly in their own packages. Similar efforts have been done with e.g. the linear algebra libraries Armadillo and Eigen.

I generally release my work under MIT - will that be compatible with SNAPs BSD licence?

Further, the SNAP team should receive due attribution for their work - how would you like to be recognised? as a team or as individuals (and who should then be included)?

Hi Thomas,

Your plan sounds great, thank you! Your chosen license is compatible with ours. You can attribute our work to Stanford SNAP and provide a URL: snap.stanford.edu.

If there is anything else we can help please let us know.

Best, Rok

Fantastic - I might have questions once I get down to the nitty gritty of getting SNAP to play nice with R's toolchain, but I'll see how far I can get before bothering you :-)

Further, this has no timeframe and I'm a man of many projects so don't expect a swift MVP :-)

Very good!
