[CMake] improve the CMake language?

[Sanchez, Juan]

This part of the license would concern me.  Are all files of interest, by other authors, guaranteed to be BSD friendly?

  4. You may modify and include the part of the software into any other
     software (possibly commercial).  But some files in the distribution
     are not written by the author, so that they are not under this terms.

     They are gc.c(partly), utils.c(partly), regex.[ch], st.[ch] and some
     files under the ./missing directory.  See each file for the copying
     condition.

It isn't.  Where did you get that idea from !?  Brandon, you have a 
tendency to email FUD that is amazing... even when you provide links to 
text that clearly states exactly the opposite of what you say.

Ruby is distributed under a dual LGPL / Ruby License.  The Ruby License 
is a MIT-like license.
Some portions of ruby are not under that license (as they were not 
written by the author), but are either BSD (meaning you need to give 
proper credit) or public domain.

For proper info, refer to "LEGAL" in the ruby distribution.
