MimeMagic versions prior to 0.3.6 have been yanked from RubyGems and it's GPL 2.0 now
As such I think some sort of agreement along the lines of "please give me some time" could've worked. To further illustrate that, there's a similar issue for a different project, created on February 22nd. It wasn't until 2 days ago, one month after creating said issues, that a DMCA notice was filed. And based on the discussion, the only reason for this was the authors of zRedShift not cooperating.

Magika: AI powered fast and efficient file type identification
If you're curious, here's how I solved it for ruby back in the day. Still used magic bytes, but added an overlay on top of the freedesktop.org DB: https://github.com/mimemagicrb/mimemagic/pull/20

Can You Not use Applications Built with Older Versions of Ruby?
I don't think mimemagic works on Windows after the drama. I opened a PR for that a month ago but no one seems to care: https://github.com/mimemagicrb/mimemagic/pull/141

Rails 5.2.5, 6.0.3.6 and 6.1.3.1 have been released [removed dependency on mimemagic]
On the other hand mimemagic provides by_magic https://github.com/mimemagicrb/mimemagic#usage which does detection by heuristic. It's a radically different method for a radically different use case.
