Subject: vuby - VM for Ruby

Hi all,

I have been working on vuby for a month. I feel now that this should be open
source but GPL is not yet decided. I want it to be a commercially viable and
usable.

I understand matz that it should not be in C++ but since I am not language
expert like matz, My level of confusion will be very less in C++.

The details I have finalized are:

Code in C++
Initial target only win32
will have initially only interpreter but will include JIT compiler by
version 1.0 release. might as well have Ahead of Time compiler.
Will share bytecodes with java as much as possible.
will be using subversion


About license I feel it should not be GPL but an open source application
which will if bought give you right to modify but not copy. If you wish to
creates n copies you should buy n licenses.


What do you all think?
