write proper license, or mayby you are using GPLed libraries in your 
commercial product and can't do that? :P

but seriously there's 2 ways to do that now, ruby2c (you have to pay for 
program that does this automatically)
compile to JavaVM code and run with jruby.

if you can't do that and you use only your own libraries, you can just 
make license that prohibits reseling your product - simple and easy.
