Thanks for this gem, currently used in Diaspora project!

I presume that this is free to use? From a more formal viewpoint, is there any license describing on what conditions, if any, one can use this gem?

Yes, it's totally free to use. As for license, probably Apache 2 license? Does that work for you guys?

Apache 2 would work. If I can choose, I would prefer the original Ruby or plain MIT license. However, this is entirely up to you; this is your code.
What's important is that whatever license you choose, you put in a copyright notice + the license file in the source dir. Unless this is in place, it'a actually hard to get it accepted in many kind of FOSS contexts.

PS: Why not Apache? It's not compatible with GPL, making it impossible to distribute it
w GPL'd gems. Unfortunately, we haver some of those used in the project. DS

Ok, we'll go with MIT. I'll get some licensing notices in there.
