What do you mean with FUD against GPL? It's not just my own opinion that
GPL is the best way to destroy intellectual efforts.

Again, what I think about the license is not interesting. It is what
lawyers say about it. Right now it is a no-go to use Ruby other in
commercial products.

I don't think in terms of making money of you work. I like the language
you have created a lot. I have no emotional relationship to the
implementation itself. I mean, I like programming in C too, but I don't
really care about the compiler itself.

To summarize: I really like the ruby *language* and I would appreciate
to be able to use it in the future in my work and not just writing small
scripts at home. Don't mix up the legal stuff (what lawyers say about
the license) and what I think as a user of a language.

Thanks again for a great language!

regards,
	jonas
