From the rules:

Is it possible to get the offical word on if software released under GNU General Public License (http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html) can be used to create an entry?

Such works could clearly be used commerically, but exploitation is more subjective.

Thanks

Yes, GPL is good/allowed.

I am either using or considering using dll's with all of the licenses listed below. I think they are all okay, but I'd rather just publish the question for peace of mind. If any of these licences are not okay please let me know. Also, if there are any common public license that are known to be not okay that would be a good list to have.

Microsoft Reciprocal License (Ms-RL)
Microsoft Public License (Ms-PL)
GNU General Public License version 2 (GPLv2)
The MIT License (MIT) for math.net Numerics

Can the model and code be part or all submitted as MS-SQL Store Procedures?

Does that correspond to 'code that GE will be entitled to commercially use and exploit'?

Good questions -- we're looking into the answers and should have an update within a couple days.

Those licenses are all fine, as is MS-SQL stored procedures (and SQL Server), as is SAS and Matlab. We will also approve anything else that GE could reasonably purchase for their commercial purposes.

Hi,

Just wanted to confirm whether we can use R ( and not S+) ?

R is okay. S+ is also okay. Sorry about the vague description, but we just want to make sure that GE could make commercial use of whatever software you use. If they can license it for a reasonable cost, then it's fine.
