Ruby is dual license but it uses the GNU regular expressions library,
which are LGPL. One motivation for Oniguruma, as I understand it, is to
have a regular expressions implementation that can be dual licensed.
So, Ruby can be used in proprietary software that is distributed,
subject to the LGPL if the program uses the GNU regular expressions
library.
