That should be no problem. Martin Maechler (now CC'ed) of the R Core team is
one of the upstream authors. And he is the one who persuaded Ross and Robert
in 1993 (IIRC) to make their then-little-known "R" a part of the GNU Project.
Per https://github.com/cran/gmp/blob/master/ChangeLog and
https://github.com/cran/gmp/blob/master/Changes the commits started in 2004
so I guess it already meant GPL (>= 2) but we cannot know for sure. But I
expect this to be fixed quite easily.
