You see the GPL file is confusing and that's because you are ignorant, he says. Sorry. I want you to clarify the license because I'm ignorant. I'm suggesting just renaming or moving, not removing the GPL file. Is it unacceptable? I also want you to confirm my understanding is correct. Ruby still has some codes licensed under dual license of Artistic or GPL (a part (for windows) of util.c, win32/win32.c, and ext/win32ole/win32ole.c), and they are actually mixed in the binary, at least, for windows. So A windows binary of Ruby must be distributed under GPL unless we choose Artistic License. Right? Must a binary for other platforms be distributed under GPL in the same condition? Isn't it better that the part of util.c under GPL should be separated into the other file? -- Yusuke Endoh
