So RubyGems is released under the GPL v2. I will note this in Shoes' COPYING. I will probably place the full licensing info in rubygems/COPYING within the tarball. I guess I will probably need to do this for Cairo, Pango, VLC and Ruby as well, since the win32 and osx distros of Shoes come with binaries and Ruby source for all of these. _why
