Missing license text #43

Linux distributions like licenses and there is missing license text in the logstash source code. Also most of the variants of MIT license even require distribution of license text with the sources. :-)

I'm not sure which variant you would prefer. Open Source Initiative presents "expat" variant: http://opensource.org/licenses/MIT https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing:MIT?rd=Licensing/MIT#Modern_Style_with_sublicense but there are many others (as seen on the Fedora wiki).

Also there can be added gem.license field to gemspec? Currently the MIT licensing is mentioned only in the README file.

Thanks for pointing out. Can you submit a PR ?

I've noticed the new release 0.6.1 now contains only necessary lib/ directory. License file should be distributed with the sources, could you add also the LICENSE file to the released gem?
