In the absence of Apple's cooperation, a standard build of the MacRuby framework could be distributed independently, à la Growl (http://growl.info/ http://growl.info/). In this way developers could not only drastically reduce the size of their downloads, but also stay as up-to-date as possible. It would certainly seem that the license would permit it: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/us/ http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/us/ Yes, the App Store rules would prohibit apps with external dependencies such as that one, and at least for self-contained apps distributed through the app store, Apple themselves would be paying for the bandwidth resulting from their own poor decision, so an argument could be made for both ways.
