May I suggest that you read the Python license.  Really read it.  Then read
the Ruby license.  Really read it.

Ask yourself, if I am just using either internally, and not distributing
anything, does it matter which one I use?

Then, ask yourself, if I am creating code to distribute, especially for
commercial purposes, does it matter which one I use?   Which would you be
more willing to "bet the farm" on (or your house, your career, your food.
etc.)?
