Consider shipping a LICENSE file with your npm package #3945

Your license (Apache 2.0) requires all usages to include full license text with the shipped software.

However, formik not including the LICENSE file in the shipped npm package makes it significantly harder to automate this process. LICENSE is included in the repository, however fetching repo contents for all dependency packages would be painfully slow as opposed to simply retrieving LICENSE files from node_modules.

I wasn't sure if this should be labeled as a bug or a feature request since this is a meta request, but I've opted for bug since this design choice makes complying with your choice of license more difficult.
