    <p style="margin-left: 20px;">Ruby is disjunctively licensed project that allows the choice of this license and another.  The other license choice has changed over time (from GPL originally, to BSD-2-Clause currently), so one needs to be aware of that change.  The Ruby License itself is un-versioned, but has varied a bit over the years, the last substantive variation being in 2002.</p>
