Hi,
I started rebuilds of whole rubygems.org as RPM packages in Copr.
See:
  https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/g/rubygems/rubygems/

However lots of gems cannot be imported due licensing problems.
Such gems fail with this dist-git log:
  http://copr-dist-git.fedorainfracloud.org/per-task-logs/320374-f24.log

> SrpmBuilderException: error: line 9: Empty tag: License:
> 
> Not specifying a license means all rights are reserved; others have no rights

> See http://guides.rubygems.org/specification-reference/#license=

And quoting from this link:

> Not specifying a license means all rights are reserved; others have no rights 
> to use the code for any purpose.

If you find your favourite gem missing in this list:
 https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/g/rubygems/rubygems/monitor/
Then it is very likely because of this reason.

I such case, please contact the upstream author and ask him to specify the 
license.

Note: I just started the rebuild. And we are still processing a* gems. So it 
will take some time to process whole
rubygems.org.
