Problem with licensing - gem "colorize" uses GPLv2 license #153

Hello!

I can see that deface uses "colorize" as a dependency. However, "colorize" uses GPLv2 license, which seems to me affects all code which depends on deface, making deface's MIT license misleading.

In https://github.com/mattheworiordan/capybara-screenshot/issues/93, they resolved the same issue by replacing "colorize" with https://github.com/defunkt/colored. Could something like this be done in deface?
