Why would that all be deemed “Not Open Source”?


My understanding is that something can only be called Open Source (vs. Source Available) if it uses one of the approved licenses that uphold the GNU Four Freedoms of Software. Which isn't a requirement of npm.

Now I'm curious how many NPM packages use non-OSI/FSF-approved licenses.
