I'm forwarding this to the RubyGems mailing list. The question is what
license covers RubyGems. I don't think we ever explicitly stated, but
since our intention was to eventually be included as part of the Ruby
distro, I am suggesting we use the same terms as Ruby (e.g. choice of
either the Ruby license or GPL).
Agreement?
Other than setup.rb (which is under the LGPL), the only other file with
an explicit copyright notice (that I've seen) is Mauricio's package.rb
file. It refers the reader to a LICENSE.txt file which is not part of
RubyGems, so I'm unclear what terms Mauricio intended. So, this
question is direct to Mauricio regarding the package.rb file, would the
terms mentioned above be acceptable to you?

Hi Jim,
I looked through the FAQ but nothing jumped out, and I don't see any
license text in the rubygems 0.8.11 source I just downloaded...
Can you tell me what license rubygems has been released under? I
would like to explore bundling it with the next release of Mac OS X,
but there's a legal review process (as you might expect) and they
need appropriate license language to chew on.
Thanks!
