RStudio becomes a public benefit corporation

by JJ Allaire blog.rstudio.com published Wed, 01/29

We started the RStudio project because we were excited and inspired by R. The creators of R provided a flexible and powerful foundation for statistical computing; then made it free and open so that it could be improved collaboratively and its benefits could be shared by the widest possible audience.
