Hello,
I found that in Ruby package there’s a file named gserver.rb, the
licence of
which is “freeware”. I searched freeware licence on internet, but I
didn’t
find the content of the licence.
Does anyone know freeware licence? Thanks a lot.
quoth the XiaoLiang Liu:
Copyright (C) 2001 John W. Small All Rights Reserved
Author:: John W. Small
Documentation:: Gavin S.
Licence:: Freeware.
See the class GServer for documentation.
I believe in this context it is the same as saying 'free as in beer, but
not
free as in speech, though, I am not a lawyer, and am not an expert on
software licensing.
Perhaps this link from wikipedia may help:
Freeware - Wikipedia.
FWIW your best bet is to try to contact the author himself directly to
enquire
about its terms of use.

That could be a problem, considering GServer is part of the core Ruby
distribution which is ostensibly all under the Ruby license.

Ahh, I wasn’t aware it was core Ruby. I am also not aware if code
accepted to
the core distribution implicitly becomes licensed under the ‘Ruby’
license.
Perhaps gserver.rb needs to be updated…

Yes, since gserver.rb is part of ruby core, I think it might need be
updated.
