It's also worth noting (since I've just found out) that spreadsheet is GPLv3. Perhaps FOSS experts can correct me, but I think this means you can only use it if your code is also GPLv3, unless you have express permission from the authors stating otherwise?
Apparently you can pay for commercial licences for spreadsheet (I just emailed the author to find our prices), so maybe that's a viable option... though I would prefer those prices were online and there was a clear sense the library was being maintained. (But seriously: who releases their gems under GPL? Never seen this before, seems to go against the grain of how the Ruby community works.) -- Pat On Nov 26, 4:22 pm, Rufus Post <[email protected]> wrote: > bleh roo has a dependency on spreadsheet - not bundle friendly only has a > requre in the code. > > > > On Fri, Nov 26, 2010 at 4:14 PM, Rufus Post <[email protected]> wrote: > > You could Win32::Registry in your open source code to install malware ;) > > > Cheers Andrew! > > > On Fri, Nov 26, 2010 at 4:07 PM, Andrew Grimm > > <[email protected]>wrote: > > >> I've used both roo ( > >>https://github.com/agrimm/hornsby-herbarium-parser) and Win32API (for > >> work, though I'm mainly generating rather than parsing excel > >> documents). > > >> Win32API allows you to handle both xls and xlsx files.
