Not sure I agree with you; I think it does prohibit it, albeit in some  
very vague and possibly ambiguous language.  But IANAL, so who knows.   
Also keep in mind that they have the power to just reject your app for  
inclusion in the App Store anyway, so I'm not sure it is worth the  
effort to build an iPhone app using RubyCocoa at this time.

I spoke to some Apple engineers at WWDC, and none of them seemed  
opposed to having RubyCocoa (or PyObjC) on the iPhone.  Best way to  
make it happen is to file bugs.  They'll probably be closed as dupes,  
but the more they get, the higher chance there is of it happening.
