    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.

    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.

    I give my boss a hard time about our dependency management system because it is relatively unknown[0], but licensing is built into it from the ground up. You can't import any dependency (no matter how buried) without assigning a license to it.

    This lets us confidently know, via software, the open and closed source licenses in our code base.

    Licensing is one of those out of band concerns that doesn't burn you until it does.
