The README [1] says:

~~~
You can redistribute it and/or modify it under either the terms of the GPL
(see COPYING file), or the conditions below:

So it is GPL or Ruby license. Nevertheless, the file headers [2, 3] says something different while referring back to the README.:

~~~
* You may distribute under the terms of either the GNU General Public
* License or the Artistic License, as specified in the README file
* of this BigDecimal distribution.
~~~

Could you please clarify the licenses?
