It incorporates code from the mimetypes library (raa.ruby-lang.org/project/mime-types/), which is under a compatible license (same as Ruby).

It is also (in parts) based on the sample Ruby code provided by Amazon (developer.amazonwebservices.com/connect/entry.jspa?externalID=135&categoryID=47). Here’s the Amazon licence:

I picked up a couple of ideas from rubyforge.org/projects/rsh3ll/ too, e.g. swopping out the HMAC library for OpenSSL (under MIT licence)

Plus some ideas from rubyforge.org/projects/amazon/ around logging and using persistent HTTP connections (under an MIT licence)
