License issue

[frbl]

Hey!

First of all, thanks for the great gem! We have a small issue with it though, in that it is MIT licensed, but it depends on colorize, which is GPL licensed. Are you sure the way it is set up right now is correct? Or should you change your license to GPL too?

Best,
Frank

Huh, I suppose it's broken eh?

Should I pull the gem abruptly and take down all Rails deploys, or…

how do I get myself out of this conundrum? Cut a new gem and drop the colorize dependency?

[frbl]

haha yeah that sounds like a great idea...

I would start indeed with removing colorize, but I'm not a lawyer and not sure if that's enough. I did found this thread though, of another project that had a similar issue; robolectric/robolectric#1414

But again, I'm not a lawyer, and I just noticed this, so I thought you might want to know.

@frbl I created a PR with the library removed (#29). Would you test the branch out and let me know if it still works for you?

Hi @dbalatero , I'm sorry for the late response, and yes this would work for us! I'm currently not in the opportunity to actually test it out, but I reviewed your PR and that seems perfectly fine. If I get around to actually test it in the near future, I'll let you know. Sorry for not being more helpful, and thanks a lot for the update!
