As of today the appstats download is not working anymore. I'd guess the URL has changed. If I try to access the url directly in the browser I see a Google Error Page saying:
400. That’s an error.

The requested URL was not found on this server. That’s all we know.

Please finde the Console Output of the scraper below:

Thanks for your effort.

Some companies will only use gems with a certain license.
The canonical and easy way to check is via the gemspec
via e.g.

spec.license = 'MIT'
# or
spec.licenses = ['MIT', 'GPL-2']

There is even a License Finder to help companies ensure all gems they use
meet their licensing needs. This tool depends on license information being available in the gemspec.
Including a license in your gemspec is a good practice, in any case.

How did I find you?

I'm using a script to collect stats on gems, originally looking for download data, but decided to collect licenses too,
and make issues for missing ones as a public service :)
