The README says "You may redistribute and/or modify this software as 
long as you comply with either the terms of the LGPL (see 
{file:LGPL-LICENSE}), or Ruby's license (see {file:COPYING})." Should I 
assume that it's triple-licensed?

Also, the Ruby licence isn't actually present upstream, despite what it 
says in the README. I've now filed an issue about clarifying the 
licence. [1] There hasn't been any upstream activity for almost a year, 
though....
