Subject: Re: Digital signing of Ruby scripts

Are you trying to address security concerns or copy protection /
digital rights?

In terms of copy protection, I see the issue as irrelevant - even
without the ruby bridge, anyone can do whatever they want with the .NET
assemblies (especially since they're so easy to disassemble).

In terms of security, how is this different from the security of a
compiled program?  The two standard methods used to allow users to run
them securely are either a) trust of the author, often combined with
code signing or b) running in a sandbox.  Both should work equally well
for Ruby, even with full source access.
