Hey all,
We (the Debian CLI Libraries Team) are packaging IronRuby, IronPython
and the Dynamic Language Runtime for Debian. Much of the source in this
package is released under the Microsoft Public License:

I asked my friend Brett if he would help us get it packaged up in RPM
format for Fedora. He tells me that the MS-PL is not on the approved
list for Redhat packages:
14:55 < wakko666> cj: my main concern about packaging ironruby is licensing.
Fedora will accept packages under the MS-Shared-Source
license, but the MS-PL isn't on their list of acceptable
license.
This is actually not correct, MS-Shared-Source is not a Free license and
is not acceptable for Fedora. I'll run MS-PL past Red Hat Legal to see
what they think about it.
Thanks,
