This project lists its license as MIT, both here on GitHub and on NPM. You're including FulllTilt as part of the distributed copy both here on GitHub and on NPM (e.g. in gyronorm.complete.js) , so it looks like you're breaking the terms of CC BY-NC 4.0 by relicensing it under something much more permissive.

Aha, I just saw your comment here: https://github.com/dorukeker/gyronorm.js/issues/46#issuecomment-333201512

I'd suggest making it very clear in the README that this doesn't depend on the CC version of FullTilt - even MDN said that Gyronorm may not be MIT! Definitely scared me a bit.

Thanks for the suggestion for Readme. I was not aware the MDN has updated the site that way. I will ask them to correct this. Cheers, Doruk
