I don't think it would be viable to create a license file for something that isn't an explicit SPDX identifier without explicit consent/confirmation from @douglascrockford and @substack - and i suspect that obtaining either would be quite difficult.
Hi @ljharb , why would you need consent/confirmation from them? Did you get the implementation from them?
@albertodiazdorado I didn't - i'm not the original creator of the package - but in order to legally relicense any code, you either need explicit permission or a CLA from every contributor, and I have neither from any.
@ljharb:
That is a sound theory - but I’m not the “you” in your comment. This package was created by @substack who is no longer participating in open source, so they are who would have to make that decision, not me.
Would it be possible to create a license file in the repo so that it can be picked up by automated tools like https://clearlydefined.io?
