This sort of statement is unjustified, uncalled for...

Why couldn't you use JRuby on commercial projects?  What's stopping you?  
The GPL only keeps you from profitting from the hard work of others.  

Actually you can use JRuby all you like, you can even even sell CDs with 
JRUby on it...  as long as you make the sourcecode available.

If you don't like JRuby's license then create your own project which is 
covered by whatever license you prefer.
