RB licensing for scripts in Ruby Script Depository?
-
Hi Guys,
We are very interested and impressed with some of the scripts we have found in the Depository. My IT manager was wondering if the are any licensing laws on using these in a commercial environment before we install any. If the are no commercial limitations, is it the same for any Script in the Ruby Script Depository uplaoded here.
Many thanks in advance.

Each script usually contains in it some copyright and/or license clause. Most scripts (if not all) that are available from that website are free to use for personal or commercial use - but read the script itself to be certain. You can open the script with a simple text editor. Occasionally, the author will encrypt a script so you can't read it. If that's the case, then from your perspective, consider it free to use.
Also, be sure to check out http://www.smustard.com for several commercial grade scripts.
