Just learned today about the CeCILL license which is GPL-compatible but specific to France: http://www.cecill.info/

18 packages on CRAN have this license.

db <- tools::CRAN_package_db()
db$License %>%
  grep(pattern = "CeCILL", x = ., value = TRUE)
 [1] "CeCILL-2"         "CeCILL"           "CeCILL-2"        
 [4] "CeCILL-2"         "CeCILL"           "CeCILL-2"        
 [7] "CeCILL"           "CeCILL"           "CeCILL-2"        
[10] "CeCILL-2"         "CeCILL-2"         "CeCILL-2"        
[13] "CeCILL-2"         "CeCILL"           "CeCILL"          
[16] "CeCILL-2"         "CeCILL-2 | GPL-2" "CeCILL-2"
