I wasn't referring to EM but now that you bring it up, if that's true
then why do I get this:

eventmachine-0.7.0> grep -lr "GPL" *

lib/em/deferrable.rb
lib/em/eventable.rb
lib/pr_eventmachine.rb
lib/eventmachine_version.rb
lib/eventmachine.rb
lib/protocols/header_and_content.rb
lib/protocols/tcptest.rb
lib/protocols/httpclient.rb
lib/protocols/line_and_text.rb
README
tests/test_hc.rb
tests/test_ud.rb
tests/test_ltp.rb
tests/test_httpclient.rb
tests/test_basic.rb
tests/test_eventables.rb

As well as the giant COPYING file with the whole GPL license in it.

Until every last one of those statements is gone, it's GPL licensed.
Even worse is the README says LGPL, the license statements on these
files says GPLv2, and then everyone thinks it's Ruby licensed.

You folks should do more homework before you use this stuff.
