I'm not sure about the deprecation, although that typically doesn't  
mean much in the Java world (:
I don't understand what you mean by copyright (unless you mean that  
you can't port it to another platform).
If the CocoaRuby stuff calls out to native C bindings, JRuby won't be  
able to use it unless the bindings were made against FFI (I'm not sure  
what the exact process is, but FFI extensions work great in JRuby,  
whereas gems and other libs that depend on native C code don't work at  
all in JRuby). I strongly believe that CocoaRuby uses native  
extensions, but I could be wrong (:
