This guy isn't complaining about source code or licensing issues.
He's complaining that MacRuby isn't in a shared location, like say libc or some other standard library. He wants to just be able to type 'macruby foo.rb' (or whatever) and have it work an any Apple anywhere, so he doesn't need to distribute his own versions of the library.
Hardly the end of the world. And if apple did include it, then people would just complain that they only had 0.9 instead of 1.1 or whatever.
Anyone who remembers the days of redhat being stuck on a particular python version because all the internal tools used 1.5 might even think it's a good idea to make the system copy private.
If they're using an unmodified copy, then section 3 applies, which means they basically only need to the macruby site somewhere in the docs:
3. You may distribute the software in object code or executable
form, provided that you do at least ONE of the following:
a) distribute the executables and library files of the software,
together with instructions (in the manual page or equivalent)
on where to get the original distribution.
b) accompany the distribution with the machine-readable source of
the software.
c) give non-standard executables non-standard names, with
instructions on where to get the original software distribution.
d) make other distribution arrangements with the author.
