I think that is the issue anyway. I have a couple of gems that keep getting a license of:
License Change! Was '["MIT"]', is now ["MIT"]
And then next time it runs, it will say License Change! Was 'License Change! Was '["MIT"]', is now ["MIT"]' is now ["MIT"] and keep the recursion going another time each time it is run.
http://guides.rubygems.org/specification-reference/ shows Gems can use an array of licenses, and my guess is that papers is not handling this well.
