Legal Documentation

This document applies to TruffleRuby as built and distributed as the Native Standalone and JVM Standalone distributions, which are the only supported ways to use TruffleRuby.

TruffleRuby

TruffleRuby is copyright (c) 2013-2024 Oracle and/or its affiliates, and is made available to you under the terms of any one of the following three licenses:

  • Eclipse Public License version 2.0, or
  • GNU General Public License version 2, or
  • GNU Lesser General Public License version 2.1.

See epl-2.0.txt, gpl-2.txt, lgpl-2.1.txt.

MRI

The standard implementation of Ruby is MRI. TruffleRuby contains code from MRI version 3.2.2, including:

  • the standard library in lib/mri,
  • Ruby C extension API in lib/cext/include and src/main/c/cext,
  • C extensions in src/main/c/{bigdecimal,date,etc,io-console,nkf,openssl,psych,rbconfig-sizeof,ripper,syslog,zlib}

MRI is copyright Yukihiro Matsumoto. It is made available under the terms of the 2-clause BSD licence ruby-bsdl.txt, or a custom licence ruby-licence.txt.

Fourth-party code

MRI itself includes some third-party code that we have then included. This includes, but isn't limited to:

The general-purpose hash table library src/main/c/cext/st.c and lib/cext/include/ruby/st.h was written originally be Peter Moore and is public domain.

lib/cext/include/ccan/{build_assert,check_type,container_of,str} are all utilities from CCAN and are public domain or available under the terms of the CC0 public domain dedication, see ccan-cc0.txt.

lib/cext/include/ccan/list is a utility from CCAN and is available under the terms of 'BSD-MIT', see ccan-bsd-mit.txt. Despite the filename 'BSD-MIT' this is the conventional MIT licence.

RDoc Darkfish theme fonts under lib/mri/rdoc/generator/template/darkfish/ are available under the terms of the SIL Open Font License 1.1, see ofl.txt.

The header file lib/cext/include/ruby/onigmo.h is part of Onigmo, available under the same 2-clause BSD licence as Ruby.

RubyGems, in lib/mri/rubygems is available under the same custom licence as MRI, see ruby-licence.txt, or the MIT licence, see mit.txt.

The C implementation of YAML, src/main/c/psych/yaml is available under the MIT licence, see mit.txt.

JRuby

TruffleRuby contains code from JRuby 9.4.4.0, including Java implementation code, build system, shell script launchers, standard library modified from MRI, and so on.

Where original files had JRuby licence headers we have copied them over. In general this code is available under any of these licences:

  • Eclipse Public License version 2.0, or
  • GNU General Public License version 2, or
  • GNU Lesser General Public License version 2.1.

See epl-2.0.txt, gpl-2.txt, lgpl-2.1.txt.

Some libraries that were spun out of JRuby, such as ByteList, have been incorporated into our source code. These were under the same copyright and licence as JRuby in the first place, so we have considered them part of JRuby.

For historical information from JRuby, see jruby-copying.txt, but this will now be out of date.

Rubinius

TruffleRuby contains code from Rubinius 2.11, including core library implementation in src/main/ruby/truffleruby/core. This is in some cases copyright 2011 Evan Phoenix, and in other cases copyright 2007-2015 Evan Phoenix and contributors, and released under the 3-clause BSD license. We have included licence headers in these files which weren't in the original ones.

Some parts of the TruffleRuby Java code (such as the implementation of Rubinius primitives) are derived from Rubinius C++ code which is copyright 2007-2015, Evan Phoenix and contributors, and released under the 3-clause BSD license.

Some parts of the Ruby implementations of the standard library in lib/truffle are copyright 2013 Brian Shirai and are licensed under the 3-clause BSD license. In some cases this code is just code from MRI, and covered by their licence. In some cases we have modified this code.

Prism

TruffleRuby uses the Prism Ruby parser (version as described in src/main/c/yarp/include/prism/version.h), copyright Shopify Inc. and is available under an MIT licence (see src/main/c/yarp/LICENSE.md).

Java dependencies

TruffleRuby has Java dependencies on these modules, which are then included in the distribution:

We do not distribute MSpec or the Ruby Specs, but they are both copyright 2008 Engine Yard and are released under an MIT licence (see mit.txt).

FFI Specs

We do not distribute the FFI Specs, but they are copyright 2008-2014 Ruby-FFI contributors and are released under an MIT licence (see mit.txt).
