[BioC] IRange, license and warnings

[Pierre-Yves]

Dear all,

Packaging IRanges for Fedora [1] I would like to ask some question.

Could the license of the library be clarify ?
The DESCRIPTION file says Artistic License 2.0 but several source files
contains the statement:
* This file is copyright 2002 Jim Kent, but license is hereby
* granted for all use - public, private or commercial. */
which is not the same as "Artistic License 2.0".
Could that be clarified ?

We also see some warnings while compiling it:
 IntervalTree.c:48: warning: missing braces around initializer
 memalloc.c:293: warning: format '%d' expects type 'int', but argument 2 has type 'size_t'
 memalloc.c:293: warning: format '%d' expects type 'int', but argument 3 has type 'size_t'

 Creating a generic for "cbind" in package  "IRanges"
    (the supplied definition differs from and overrides the implicit generic in package "base": Signatures differ:  (...), (deparse.level))
 Creating a generic for "rbind" in package  "IRanges"
    (the supplied definition differs from and overrides the implicit generic in package "base": Signatures differ:  (...), (deparse.level))

Can these be safely ignored ?

Thanks in advance for your help,

Best regards,

Pierre
