This is perhaps a little loose, but can be helpful. It tries to match known license texts to the likely README or LICENSE files of a gem. In one project with 188 dependencies, this permitted 39 additional licenses to be found.
Obviously, it's possible that a gem includes the text from a common license and appends its own modifications, so this isn't rock-solid.
No tests yet.
