npm, the Node.js package manager, has changed license [1] from a modified version of the MIT [2] to the Artistic 2.0 [3] license effective with version 1.3.6. This version is now in Rawhide and queued for updates-testing in Fedora 19 and 18 as well as EPEL 6. Fedora Legal believes both licenses to be GPL-compatible so this shouldn't cause anyone trouble. On the contrary, using a standard license instead of a custom-written one should only make peoples' lives easier. ;-) -T.C.
