Hi, I''m getting ready to produce an RSpec adapter for use with the Gallio test automation platform (http://www.gallio.org/) on the .Net DLR via IronRuby. The idea is to open up RSpec to a wider audience of .Net developers who might like to write their tests, *ahem* specs ;-), using a friendly syntax in a dynamically typed language such as Ruby. Anyways, this is still a work in progress but I wanted to check on a couple of legal points: 1. Is it cool to redistribute RSpec in source code form for non-commercial purposes? I was unable to find the RSpec license to confirm. Gallio itself is open source and is distributed using the Apache License 2.0. 2. I would like to be able to identify the RSpec framework by way of an icon in Gallio. Unfortunately I was unable to locate an official logo. Assuming there is one, I''d like permission to include an RSpec icon in Gallio. The icon will be used in the following ways: - As a plugin icon when displaying a list of associated plugins. - As a preference icon when providing options for configuring associated plugins. - As an installed feature icon when providing options for installing associated plugins. - As a test framework icon when decribing the list of supported test frameworks and when presenting a report about tests that have been run specifically using that framework. Do you have a suitable 16x16 and 32x32 icon file that I can use for this purpose? Thanks, Jeff.

What is your time frame for releasing this adapter?
