Plugin can't create package when custom license is used

[DzmitryFomchyn]

Hey everyone,

I tried to upload an artifact to a package that doesn't exist and the plugin couldn't create a package automatically (whereas the plugin is supposed to auto-create packages).

The ./gradlew bintrayUpload task failed with the following error:

Could not create package 'my package name': HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request [message:License 'Company Terms of Service' does not exist]

We provide custom license (let's say with name "Company Terms of Service")

licenses {
        ...
        license {
                name project.property('licenseName')
                url project.property('licenseUrl')
                distribution 'repo'
         }
        ...
}


pkg {
        ...
        licenses = [project.property('licenseName')]
        ...
}

and the properties are defined in the gradle properties file:

licenseName=Company Terms of Service
licenseUrl=<URL to the Terms of Service>

The license with the specified name is used as a default license in the repository settings.

I tried to use BSD license and the plugin works as expected. Also, this error doesn't happen when the package already exists.
