Question

gem should include README.markdown and MIT-LICENSE files

Closed this issue 13 years ago · 1 comments

The README file in GitHub says that this gem is licensed under the MIT license, which requires that the copyright notice and permission notices are distributed with the code. Unfortunately, the way the gemspec is written means that everyone who distributes the .gem file automatically violates the license by not including the copyright and the permission notice with the code. :)

Please update routing-filter.gemspec to include README.markdown and MIT-LICENSE in s.files.

Hey Dwayne,

thanks for the headsup!

I've added these files to the gemspec and re-released:
