I don't see anything grammatically wrong with saying "Ruby's", but
perhaps it is a bit 'off'. I would personally vote for either:
License: Distributed under the same terms as Ruby
or
License: The Ruby License
(Note slight change 'Distributes' to 'Distributed'). But I have no
strong opinion on this!
