Your commercial application is obviously not an IDE that includes Ruby.

Making a standard part of Ruby a GPL would eliminate the possibility of a
commercial IDE for Ruby.  I think we would all agree that a good commercial
IDE would be a good thing for Ruby.

I use Ruby in a commercial application (which, alas, I cannot disclose at
this
time, due to the fact that it has only been released to certain very large
corporations who require confidentiality) and I have no problem with
doxygen.
doxygen is a tool for the programmers. My application has no need for
doxygen
to be distributed with it.
