License for tape is not found

[aredridel]

I've got it listed in my devDependencies but doesn't come up with a license.

licensing --name tape

Found a module that is incorrectly or not detected at all but does
have a valid license? Please report this at:

https://github.com/3rd-Eden/licenses/issues/new

Which is the library that does the actual parsing and detection of
the license so we can improve it's parsing algorithm and yield
better results.

Do you still have the same issues? It could be that npm was down or that a github limit was reached (as the api is rate limited at 60 lookups per hour)

Interesting: it works with --name, but not in a project with it declared as a devDependency

[3rd-Eden]

@aredridel could you post your package.json and or/and output of DEBUG=* licenses

This should be now. There was a bug in my npm-registry module which incorrectly reduced the versions to a single object which caused it to only contain 1 tag (latest) and 1 version. This been fixed in the latest release, in addition to that it's now correctly scanning the devDependencies object, which has been fixed in shrinkwrap
