Ruby off the Rails: Code library yanked over license blunder
Note that:
> On Thursday 26 March, mimemagic was updated again to v0.4.1, which restored the MIT license and removed the GPL covered code – theFreedesktop.org Shared Mime Types database. Users must now provide that themselves.

Removed Gem “Breaks” Rails ActiveStorage
That approach is roughly being taken in this fork: https://github.com/jellybob/mimemagic/issues/1
With the difference that the gem will by default download the XML file at runtime, with the option of using a local copy specified by an environment variable. I guess they are operating under the belief that including any GPL file taints the library, or perhaps they're just playing it safe.
