The terms that Ruby comes under permit a GPL fork. So yes,
features can be added by anyone with or without Matz liking
that. Of course it might not get far, but you can do it.
By contrast Guido has tried to maintain more control over
Python's licensing.
However there is a licensing problem for Ruby. Ruby
contains parts (for instance regex.c) which are under the
LGPL. I believe that people seeking to embed a Ruby
interpreter into other pieces of software must therefore
do one of the following:
1) Use Ruby (or just the parts you want to access) as
part of a library you link to rather than directly
embedding it.
2) Accept a GPL or LGPL license for their own work.
3) Strip out the parts of Ruby which fall under strict
free software licenses and replace them.
These restrictions do not appear to be Matz' intent.
(Indeed his work appears under a license that looks
suspiciously like Perl's Artistic License.) However the
code in question is licensed by the FSF. And I guarantee
that it will be *their* intent to make it hard to embed
Ruby in proprietary products.
(Note: The Free Software Foundation has very different
goals from the Open Source Movement. They have a very
distinct agenda.)
If this restriction appears likely to cause problems, then
it may be worthwhile for someone to take some time out to
come up with less restrictive replacements for the key
sections.
Cheers,
Ben
