Using this license your application won't be open source, at least not 
according to the Open Source Definition, which states that an open 
source application should be freely redistributable.

If you do decide to license you program in this way then I think it 
would be misleading to call it open source.

There are a couple of projects on Rubyforge which create vm's for ruby 
that you might want to look at.
