    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.
