There is nothing in the Ruby licence which prohibits *use* of the
interpreter for any reason. The Ruby licence specifically covers what can be
done with the source. In fact, the Ruby licence is very liberal -- if a bit
vague.
There are better licences than the Python licence, at that.
All that said, I think that working on a better licence is a "not bad" plan.
Perhaps using the Artistic licence that is approved by the OSI, rather than
creating "yet another licence."
