Remember just last week when it was mentioned that folks would look at
CeCILL v1 when someone submitted something under that license?  Well,
there was already something in the review queue and tonight I happened
upon it: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=465750

R-GeneR, a specific bit of genetics software, seems to be under CeCILL
v1 as evidenced by the copying file, which begins with "FREE SOFTWARE
LICENSING AGREEMENT CeCILL" and ends with "Version 1 of 06/21/2004".

Of specific interest here is GPL (v2) compatibility, because R is
GPLv2 and R plugins are linked with both libR and libreadline.
