When your GitHub projects have no License file on it and you tried to submit your projects as pods to CocoaPods.
In the pod sepc lint /your project/ process, you will get a warning like this:
WARN | [iOS] Unable to find a license file
The first thing you have to do is to push a License file on GitHub. For example if your open source license goes for MIT License it will looks like this:

GitHub Tag
Notice that if you already tag your projects for CocoaPods pod version, you have to re-tag it after you pushed the License file.
Try lint again
Try pod spec lint /your project/ again, if you still get the WARN | [iOS] Unable to find a license file warning, it because of CocoaPods caches issue.
Delete CocoaPods caches data
rm -rf /Users/YourName/Library/Caches/CocoaPods/GitHub/
then
mkdir /Users/YourName/Library/Caches/CocoaPods/GitHub/
Now, it should works.
