Cache all available license files about licensed HOT 4 CLOSED

When licensee finds multiple license files in a project, it doesn't attempt to determine which is the "valid" license content. As a result the Project#license_file method returns nil if more than one license file is found.

Technically that behavior was implemented to preserve backward compatibility. If you call #license_files or #licenses (plural), it should give you everything it knows (but it's still up to Licensed or a human how to evaluate conflicting license information).

1. never hurts to cache more of what the project documents about itself regarding licenses and related notices
2. in the case of multiple licenses found, that'll always be other, right?
3. not a requirement, but might be nice to include what file(s) licenses/notices are sourced from in the metadata

Licensee does make all this info available through other Project methods.

Not necessarily - if the project specifies a license in its package metadata (e.g. gemspec for a rubygems project), or if it's parseable from a readme then those will take precedence over other

from licensed.

Ah, right. It's still safer to include other license texts found, which could be eg for third party material the project includes and for which license notices should still be reproduced for. Of course the license text for the license identified by the project would be best output first in the cached document.
