Matt & Josh, thanks for your replies.
I'm also not a lawyer. I like Ruby and would love to see it flourish
on the Mac (and hopefully iOS one day). It would be nice if the
license implications were clearer to developers.
I'm not experienced with Ruby's source code. The only files which
mention the
, therefore the whole app would
have to be GPL, correct?
I know that others are currently selling MacRuby apps in the Mac App
Store, but I would like to know more about this issue before I spend
time building my app in MacRuby.
Many thanks,
Mike Boone.
