Hi hikerclimb!  Those licenses only relate to other open-source code that you include in your model. 

\n

For the code you're writing,  the basic principles from the Rules are that you're not allowed to share your code outside your team during the competition, and if you accept a prize, you'll then assign ownership of the code to GE in exchange.  Does that help?

Does it mean i cann't use (call) libraries/packages that are for example under: GNU Lesser General Public License / ZPL ?

Sparrow, thanks for the question - the answer is that it depends on how you're calling the libraries.  In general, you need to be really careful with any GPL (or similar) licensed code to make sure it isn't used/called in a way could affect the sponsor's rights to freely use the final model.

There's some more detailed discussion on this issue here in the Milestone forums, which should help: https://www.gequest.com/c/flight2-milestone/forums/t/5320/open-source-and-ip-terms

Thanks for the answer. i will try to be more specific. if i only instances object and call functions from the libraries/packages API (i.e. dont modified them) is it ok to use GNU LGPL / ZPL.

Does this mean I can write my code in R as long as I do not use any libraries from R?

Hi bucksBomber -- there's no problem with writing code in R.  As for libraries, each library has its own license terms, so if you're relying on particular libraries, you'll have to check its license terms to make sure it's okay.
