Hi all! I'd like to propose making license/licenses field mandatory. While doing rubygem packages for Linux distributions we have to deal with licenses a lot and currently not having a license field in gemspec is the only thing stopping us from doing automated packaging. One has to unpack the gem, search for the license text and change the field by hand. If these fields were mandatory (i.e. one or the other), it would make the whole process much easier. In my opinion the license is very important aspect of the gem similarly important as its name and I think also non-Linux parts of Ruby ecosystem would benefit from that change. What do you think?
