For example, it is the field that [rubygems.org uses to display a gem's license](https://rubygems.org/gems/rails).\n\nFor example, there is a [License Finder gem](https://github.com/pivotal/LicenseFinder) to help companies ensure all gems they use\nmeet their licensing needs. This tool depends on license information being available in the gemspec.  This is an important enough\nissue that even Bundler now generates gems with a default 'MIT' license.\n\nIf you need help choosing a [license](http://opensource.org/licenses) (sorry, I haven't checked your readme or looked for a license file), github has created a [license picker tool](http://choosealicense.com/).\n\nIn case you're wondering how I found you and why I made this issue, it's because I'm collecting stats on gems (I was originally looking for download data) and decided to collect license metadata,too, and [make issues for gemspecs not specifying a license as a public service :)](https://github.com/bf4/gemproject/issues/1).\n\nI hope you'll consider specifying a license in your gemspec. If not, please just close the issue and let me know. In either case, I'll follow up. Thanks!\n\np.s.
