Description Jason Tibbitts 2006-02-28 19:35:23 UTC 
Ruby is dual licensed under the GPL and its own license.  I don't see the
license in OSI's list but Debian accepts it as free:
http://www.debian.org/legal/licenses/

The license text is at http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/LICENSE.txt

Essentially every Ruby package will be using this license, and there is already
some confusion (with some packages switching to "Distributable").

In <Pine.LNX.4.58.0602281235300.29345.redhat.com> on
fedora-extras-list, Greg DeKoenigsberg suggested adding the license to rpmlint.
