Bundler belongs to the Ruby community

André Arko, longtime Bundler maintainer, discusses his 15-year journey with the Ruby dependency management tool and addresses recent ownership disputes with Ruby Central. He explains how Bundler evolved from Yehuda Katz and Carl Lerche's original work, his role in maintaining it through Ruby Together, and the 2021 merger with Ruby Central. In response to Ruby Central's claims of ownership, Arko has registered the Bundler trademark to protect the project's community-driven nature, committing to transfer it to a democratically accountable Ruby organization in the future.
