The information is present in the gem file. In the repository on github,
there is a file LICENCE, starting with the following lines:

  ttfunk is copyrighted free software produced by Gregory Brown along with 
  community contributions.  See git log for authorship information.
  
  Licensing terms follow (License of Ruby):
  
  You can redistribute Prawn and/or modify it under either the terms of
  the GPLv2
  or GPLv3 (see GPLv2 and GPLv3 files), or the conditions below:

I checked out the repo and written down the names of all the authors of
the commits. Is it the thing to do when such a wording is used about the
authorship? Should I ask upstream to ship this LICENSE file within the
ruby gem?

Thank you for your advice.

Cédric
