If you are familiar with cowsay on the cli, then you know what this
is, but for R. If not, read below. Why? Why not?

That's right, it takes 12 people to make cowsay - it's that hard.

Permissions
In the ascii art mailing list they say:
As for posting other people's ASCII art,
after a discussion in news:alt.ascii-art _ ___
the following rules were agreed upon: #_~`--'__ `===-,
1. If an ASCII ART picture has initials `.`. `#.,//
on it, leave them on when posting it ,_\_\ ## #\
2. If an ASCII ART picture doesn't have `__.__ `####\
initials on it, mention that you ~~\ ,###'~
didn't draw it when posting it. \##'
3. If somebody posts a picture without [nosig]
initials and you have an original copy
with initials on, feel free to re-post the original version.
* The re-post ought not to be taken personally, as we all
know that ASCII art often loses proper credits.
Responses to the re-post are not necessary.
One contributor, name of Krogg, suggested the following:
1.) Ultra polite:...ya make yer own ascii and use it.
2.) Very polite:...Ya contact the author and ask if ya
can use it...
3.) polite:...Ya use it but you keep the Credits
in there like they should be.
4.) rude:...Ya use it and strip credits.
5.) Very rude:...Ya use it and claim that it Is
_Your_ very own creation...
So, let's go with this rule: Let's include found (on the web) ascii art
in this pkg, include signature if there, and if no signature, put in a
[nosig] (see above).

#> Kevin Wright: Doug already mentioned the limitations of open source optimization code. Open source has benefits, but simply being open doesn't necessarily mean better.
#>
#> Joshua Wiley: Actually, a series of studies I have conducted including theoretical proofs and empirical evidence proves open source to be unequivocally better. If you are interested, you can pay me to use the assertion, but the supporting details are restricted so you must accept that my internal checks and quality control are sufficient and the findings are correct and accurate. Details follow.
#>
#> License and Use of I. Ben Fooled's findings:
#>
#> "Open source is unequivocally better" is $10 for personal use or $20 for each public use of the assertion. It is also possible to get a yearly license, but note that this does not include updates. Support is extra. If you wish to use the assertions on a multicore system, there is an additional $5 per core per assertion fee. A student version is available for pedagogical purposes only: "pn src s nqvcll bttr". If you need more than 20 letters, please upgrade to the full version.
#>
#> This is the best thing since bread, but don't take my word for it. Here are some trite testimonials putatively from customers:
#>
#> "Using I. Ben Fooled's assertion has really revolutionized my work. I love it. I use it every day" ~ Jane, Data Expert
#>
#> "I lost 130 lbs on this system", 'wait, this isn't a weightloss testimonial? Sorry!' "My work is easily twice as efficient since I switched to I. Ben Fooled's product." ~ John, Entrepeneur
