I've now spent three hours complying, IMHO far more than was sensible. The
questioned code is gone, despite my not agreeing with your complaints, nor
seeing that you were willing to contribute a replacement. Check out spdep
from R-Forge, and reply rapidly confirming that no further changes are
needed.

Hi Roger,

Please tell them that I am not willing to make any further changes. If they
bothered to look, they would have seen that the functions are not simply
copied from arm.c, but modified to use double rather than integer
coordinates. I can add arm.c for documentation and change the soigraph.c
function names to show that they are modified from those in arm.c, but I do
not see the point.
I think the point is pretty clear: Its no question that you changed
something but if you have permission to change the existing files is the
basic question. To quote again:
This book is in copyright. (...) no reproduction of any part may take
place without the written permission of Cambridge University Press.
So did you got the written permission of Cambridge University Press?
If yes, could you please attach a copy of this permission to the code.
Kind regards
Andreas.
Best wishes,
Roger

Hi again Roger,
this is just a ping in case you might have missed my last mail about the
licensing of the file copied from "Computational Geometry in C". Were
you able to clarify the issue or to rewrite the code in question?
Thanks for your cooperation
Andreas.

Hi Roger,
I'm afraid I need to come back to you again about the licensing of the
file in question in the spdep package. Please read below what the
Debian ftpmasters think about the license:

Hi Andreas,
ok, one step further, but two questions remain:
- "... in its entirety ...", not being a native speaker, but for me that
sounds like you are only allowed to distribute the whole example code
and are not allowed to use just parts of it
- anyway, the main point is that you are only allowed to redistribute
the code but have no permission to modify it, which is against DFSG 3.
Thorsten
I'm sorry that this is such a longish process bit it would be really
cool if you could have another look or try to contact the authors (or
rewrite this code? - I think in some previous conversation you wrote
about this option as well).
Kind regards and thanks for your cooperation
Andreas.
