-<p><b>Can Apache projects have external dependencies on Ruby licensed works?</b></p>
-<p>A project written primarily and obviously in Ruby can have a dependency either on Matz's Ruby Interpreter (MRI),
- or on any Gem which is licensed under the Ruby license. Of course Gems written under other licenses (such as MIT)
- may also be OK, depending on the license. </p>
