      other solution: give them a commercial license, except I'm not getting set up for VAT &c just to service this one-off thing

      plus I don't support this thing enough to reasonably offer it commercially, unless demand suddenly jumps

      so: does anyone know a good off-the-shelf thing you can use to cover outputs from GPL-licensed compilers/build tools?

      b/c given the above and the precedent set by gcc I'm probably going to have to say the output is also GPL unless I can exempt it nicely

      but also: I have deliberately picked GPL to discourage usage by people that dislike it

      which does not in fact exist; the generated parsers contain fragments of canopy source code throughout

      The entire GPL make no sense. What does it mean to "link" Ruby code? You deliberately chose a confusing license to annoy ppl ;)

          sorry I chose poorly but ruby itself used to be GPL and telling me I'm being a crummy person with bad motives isn't helping

          No no no! I'm not saying you're a crummy person or that you had bad motives. Just think you made a mistake. Not too late to fix.

          dude, if you're playing gotcha with licenses, choose an example where it doesn't make the interpretation easier

          It doesn't mean anything to link with a ruby program because it doesn't have to. The GPL is only concerned with combining

          Then why do people use GPL for libraries written in dynamic languages (like, a lot)

          fwiw I strongly agree with this interpretation, but it's simply not the common interpretation. It means GPL is pointless for dynlangs.
