    Discontinued Mime type detection in ruby via file extension or file content (by jellybob)

  • 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.
