Just, respect the licenses, i.e. give credits for lgpl and bsd, and
make the source for your changes available if you choose to change
lgpl or gpl software.

Do not make confusions – Ruby in general is not GPL, file “Copying” in
Ruby distribution clearly says:
And there “below” you happily find a pretty liberal license.
The only problem with it is that Ruby (as of 1.8.x and earlier) uses a
regexp engine that is GPL, so if you embed the Ruby interpreter in your
executable and distribute this executable, it may cause licensing
problems if you do not wish or simply may not open your source code.
However, it is relatively easy to overcome as long as you distribute
object files that can be linked by your customer with libruby.a (and
possibly your other shared libraries) to produce the executable.
Gennady.

It’s better to get the answer to questions like this from the
authoritative sources. In particular, the GPL does not unconditionally
require you to release your changes.
