Subject: [ruby-talk:23668] Ruby's use of cygwin and commercial use!

Hi,

I am considering jumping into ruby. I plan to use ruby as embedded 
language for potentially commercial software. I understood the Ruby's 
license. However, for win32, I realized that it uses cygwin. How people 
typically address licensing problem associated with cygwin. Do I have to 
buy license for cygwin.dll and for each copy of it.

If this is the case, Ruby is seriously at drawback as compared to Python 
.. I feel, dependency on cygwin should be removed eventually.

I have searched enough on comp.lang.ruby using google|deja, did not find 
anything specific to cygwin. Sorry, if the question is repetition.


Regards

Sunil
