I’m developing a site that is about Ruby, what is the licensing for the ruby icon? Is it okay to use? Miles S. ---

Don’t assume the same about the Rails logo, if it ever comes up in your articles. I don’t have explicit references, but the Rails logo has more restrictive terms of use (I think it has come up in the past with conference organisers). I dont recall it ever being enforced, but if you ever want to include the Rails logo in an article, you will need to do some howework on it.
