Artistic-2.0 derivative - npm License
Hi all,
I noticed that NPM is using an Artistic-2.0 with additional terms and conditions: ----------------- npm License Copyright (c) npm, Inc. and Contributors All rights reserved. npm is released under the Artistic License 2.0, subject to additional terms that are listed below. The text of the npm License follows and the text of the additional terms follows the Artistic License 2.0 terms: ... --------------- https://docs.npmjs.com/policies/npm-license It seems that people there are not familiar of what is the goal of a license. Otherwise they wouldn't have used the following additional term: "Additional policies relating to, and restrictions on use of, npm products and services are available on the npm website. All such policies and restrictions, as updated from time to time, are hereby incorporated into this license agreement. By using npm, you acknowledge your agreement to all such policies and restrictions." Hence, the license text may vary dpending on an update of such policies. I guess this makes it difficult to provide a SPDX-Identifier. Any thoughts on this? Best regards, Till |
