Hi,
IMNAL, but these things rang bells in my head, so I thought I'd ask here.
I'm a committer at eclipse.org wanting to use/depend on (and distribute
jruby) from the eclipse.org servers, as part of the IP process I noticed
that jruby v1.5.0 is distributing GPL code which may cause issues to
downstream consumers.
The file(s) under question are:
./lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/ruby-debug-base-0.10.3.2-java/lib/linecache.rb
What is interesting is that ruby-debug-base is distributed under an MIT
license, which *I think* is a violation of GPL under which linecache.rb
is distributed!
ruby-debug seems to have a dependency on columnize gem which is also GPL
(and distributed with jruby).
I'm not sure if it means that JRuby must distribute itself under GPL,
just saying :-)
