Subject: Ruby License Question

Someone pointed me at FSDB, and that one points back to the ruby 
license. http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/LICENSE.txt

FSDB seems to fit my needs, and if not, seems to be perfect for 
extending it.

does 2. a.) allow to use modified versions of any code under the ruby 
liscense to develop closed source commercial software out of projects 
under ruby liscense?

If I ever find a bug or missing feature in FSDB I will fix it and 
submit the fix, that won't be a problem.

But what about developing closed source software with/ontop of ruby 
and FSDB, may I do that?

I don't yet know how far I ll push the project I am planning, and how 
soon I will make it opensource - this is the reason I am asking.

Thanks in advance
  Jonas

p.s. dont get me wrong - I like the ideas of GPL and LGPL very much, 
but imho software has to have a certain level of completness, quality 
and has to be very well known so that it pays off via offering service 
and support and further development by request.
