Gems distributed without license
Reported by Andrew C. Greenberg | September 3rd, 2010 @ 03:19 AM
Unlike other gems in the rails distribution (actionmailer, actionpack and activemodel'), the gems for rails, activerecord, activeresoure, active support and railties gems do not include the MIT-LICENSE under which the software is distributed. This is because the file is not named in the .gemspec file for those gems only.
The attached patch modifies those .gemspecs to conform to the other gems, including the MIT-LICENSE file. Additionally, it adds the MIT-LICENSE file to the root of the repository, and modifies rails.gemspec to include those files with the binary distribution.
While not addressed in this patch, I note that arel likewise does not distribute the MIT-LICENSE.
