but on their home page, it does not say if you buy the software, they will making their R codes open, does that mean they are violating the license rules? or they have to make open if someone request it?
anyway, i am still trying to find the interface between ultimate++ and R, do you know?

Hi Graham,
I didn't read the web you linked to carefully, but AFAIK using R in this context can actually mean two things: 1) They are using some R C/C++/... interface or 2) they could be just calling external tools comming from R project. If you don't need some high-speed computing the second option is actually fine enough and it also bypasses the problems accompanied with using GPL licensed software.
If you desire to use C++ interface to R there is a project called Rcpp, which provides just that. It is probably the closest you can get to U++ binding. Unless you decide to write one yourself (And even if you do that, looking at Rcpp code might be very helpful...)
