One of the under-documented elements of Rails is the options available during configuration. Technically, these elements are documented (there are explanations for each in the source code) however they do not appear in the online documentation at api.rubyonrails.org. To assist myself and others I have created a Rails 2.x Configuration Cheat Sheet. I’ve placed it up on github, so feel free to use it within the constraints of the license (Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 3.0 United States).

Hey Anthony, it’s been a few years since we met at RailsConf 2006, when you announced CapGem if I remember correctly. Anyways, was just curious why you released under the Noncommercial license? Does that cover just the work itself or does that limit it from being used in commercial products?
I personally license all of my open sourced stuff under the MIT license, mainly because it’s easy on me but also because I don’t want to get in the way… of people making money from what I make. Because, you know, I want to make money from what I make, and most of my OS stuff helps me do that.
Just wondering your thoughts on this, if you were intentionally preventing its use in commercial apps.

I release my code under MIT as well, however in the case of this cheat sheet I wouldn’t want someone just copying it and selling it as their own, that’s the reason I selected the license.
