Clarify how to specify a commercial license #5253

Description

@collimarco

We have a gem distributed under a commercial license (Cuber License).

Now we have specified the license in a file called LICENSE in the root of the Git repository.

However when I run gem build I get a warning, complaining that license is not present in the gemspec.

I see a lot of confusion here, in case of a commercial license (EULA)...

  1. Should I keep the license field empty?
  2. Should I use Nonstandard for the license field?
  3. Should I use Cuber License for the license field?
  4. Should I use LicenseRef-LICENSE for the license field?

Every part of your documentation seems to suggest something different and a clarification would be useful for everyone.
