hi,
I am not going to ask any technical issue. What is the license that is
applied for the Ruby standard library(which is distributed with ruby
installation).
Can we redistribute it ?
thanks and regards,
buddhika

So that would be a dual license of the Ruby Distribution License or
the GPL.
Ruby distribution license is documented in:
http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/LICENSE.txt
and the GPL 1/2 text can be found at:
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/old-licenses/old-licenses.html#GPL
while the GPL version 3 is at The GNU General Public License v3.0 - GNU Project - Free Software Foundation

That’s a sample of 1 from the components of the standard library.
There are actually a variety of licensing terms in the various pieces of
ruby.
Unfortunately the picture isn’t entirely clear see for example
