I'm about to enter the Ruby on Rails Community after reading a lot of
good feedback on the Internet and the Agile Programming book also.
Before starting to develop my application I would like to clear one
last thing (or doubt). I was told that using applications that are
developped in Ruby on Rails are Open Source by default. Is that true?
(In my case, it will be a commercial application, so Open Source is
not an option for the moment)

Rails is under the MIT license which doesn't place any obligations on
you (other than stuff like no warranty is provided for Rails etc. )
Looks like i'll start soon my application using RoR!
Also (and I am not a lawyer etc.) if what you've got is just a hosted
service it wouldn't matter if you had to gpl your code because (at
least under the gpl v2) you're usully not actually distributing your
app, so none of the provisions about providing source code kick in.
