Ola, I'm using JRuby for a commercial, closed-source application, so I'm sensitive to the licenses of JRuby and the libraries it is dependent on. So far, so good...nothing terribly restrictive like GPL is required so far.
I don't know exactly what REJ is, but from some quick searches it looks like something new you are creating based on MRI's regular expression engine. What is your intent for the licensing on it? My guess is that you'll make it the same license as JRuby, but I feel like it is worth double checking since jregex had its own license.
