Released Ruby gem is missing LICENSE file. #292

I am working on updating a few packages in the Ruby cucumber stack in Fedora and I noticed the license file is missing from this library now, that wasn't the case with v14.

From what I understand the file should be present in the released gem as it's a copy of the software.

Not 100% sure how a proper fix should look like.

AFAICT, to build and then unpack/install the gem properly, the license has to be either on the same level with the .gemspec file in the Ruby gem or some level below. A file cannot be referenced a level up from gemspec, so doing something like s.files << "../LICENSE" is not going to work for unpacking the gem. Perhaps a Rakefile target that copies the LICENSE first and then builds the gem so that something like s.files << "./LICENSE" would then be OK.
