One obvious use of JRuby is to embed it in other applications, to
provide scripting support. Most of the people who have been in contact
with us seem to be doing this.
I think this is only possible if that application is also GPL, which
most applications aren't. This is why we're working to add other
licencing options for JRuby.

Personally I would be proud if anyone managed to profit from my work.
