+ Quoting a mail of the author Roger Bivand <Roger.Bivand at nhh.no>:
+ .
+  They serve two functions, one to demonstrate the working of the function
+  on real data (here data sets used most often in the scientific literature),
+  for import functions these must be real external files, not saved R objects.
+  Secondly and most crucially, R CMD check <pkg> is the key QA tool for
+  packages, and runs all the examples in a package. Any failure in these
+  shows that an edit had unexpected side effects. I often work on packages
+  offline, so the package must ship with the real files.
+ .
+ A request about relicensing was send to Julia Koschinsky <jkoschin at asu.edu>
+ but not answered until now.
