npm license change

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



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.  ;-)
