|Are you going to allow modified versions to be called 'Ruby'?
That's one thing which is prohibited by the current license. When I
made up the current license, I felt it was a must. But I now think no
one would choose to use the name Ruby for a modified version, unless
the one is irrational or has intention to cause confusion. License
has no power for both cases. Interestingly, this is not prohibited by
GPL either.
I even suspect no one wants to make modified version ever.
