== License

Never forget to add a license to your code, otherwise people will either start picking around you or not even use your code at all. If unsure, refer to these guidelines:

• If you want to enforce any application using your code to be open-source’d, use the GNU GPLv3. This is a good choice for end-user applications, but not for libraries as it prohibits most comercial use.

• If you want to ensure that closed-source (read: most comercial) projects can use your library, but at the same time want to ensure that they are forced to publish your code’s part in that project, use the GNU LGPLv3.

• If you want to let anyone do anything with your library, just ensuring they mention your name, use the 2-Clause-BSDL. This is what Ruby itself uses.

• Otherwise... Well, no otherwise. You should consider all three points above, and if they don’t serve you, refer to http://opensource.org/licenses/index.html for a list of OSI-approved licenses and pick one that servers you better.
