Load Tasks vs Install Tasks

[voltechs]

Can I recommend changing load_tasks to load_tasks to follow a pattern set by Rails?

To my chagrin, it wasn't clear to me immediately that I needed to place this line in the Rakefile. I realize the Readme (sorta) mentions it, but we could clean that up with "Load rake tasks by calling Gem::GemLicenses.load_tasks in a Rakefile.

install_tasks leaves me with the assumption I only need to do it once. I thought perhaps it would copy the .rake files over to my project directory.

I feel silly, but finally figured it out. The intent here would be to prevent someone else from spinning their wheels on this. I started down the rabbit hole of finding a version or rake that was compatible because it kept throwing an error about that. And before that, I'd opened a ticket (sorry) about rake not being loaded.

I know this is a bit nuanced and maybe somewhat subjective, but I figured instead of opening a ticket I'd just do the work to slick the skids. Your gem, your call. Give it some thought!

Cheers!

P.S. Thanks for writing gem-licenses! :)

I understand where you're coming from.

Bundler uses Bundler::GemHelper.install_tasks, but Rails uses Rails.application.load_tasks. Other gems do other things.

Supporting both seems like an overkill to me. Supporting only load_tasks would break backwards compatibility.

Maybe we should just improve the README?
