Doesn't understand `colors`

[Raynos]

licences thinks colors does not have a licence.

It in fact has one checked into git ( https://github.com/Marak/colors.js/blob/master/MIT-LICENSE.txt )

@Raynos I think you ran out API calls for the GITHUB api which is why these packages show up as no license (as no data can be retrieved from github)..

I get the following output:

licensing --name colors                                                                                                         

Resolving dependencies, this might take a while

colors is licensed as: MIT

Licenses information:


Found a module that is incorrectly or not detected at all but does
have a valid license? Please report this at:

https://github.com/3rd-Eden/licenses/issues/new

Which is the library that does the actual parsing and detection of
the license so we can improve it's parsing algorithm and yield
better results.

And when I run it with DEBUG=* licenses --name colors it will indeed check the MIT-LICENSE.txt file:

It looks like I indeed have a github issue.

I should probably clarify it in the readme of licenses and licensing that you need to have a OAuth token if you're planning of checking a lot of modules. As unauthorized requests have a rate limit of 60 API calls per hour.
