LICENSE file
Eli-Black-Work opened this issue · comments
Hello,
Could you please add a LICENSE file to the project? Thanks :)
This is an internal project, I don't want to maintain it nor that people use it.
Hi @xtuc. The problem is that mamacro is a dependency for @webassemblyjs/ast, which is a dependency for webpack, so mamacro ends up being a sub-sub-dependency for a lot of projects.
It's a bug https://github.com/xtuc/webassemblyjs/blob/master/packages/ast/package.json#L18 should be in devDependecies.
Ah, okay, thanks. I see you opened a bug in the webassemblyjs project; appreciate it :)
Hi everyone. Unfortunately webassemblyjs AST depends in its src on mamacro, so it can't be moved to devDependencies easily, even though it would be the possible solution on first-sight.
I guess another, and IMHO probably correct, approach would be to release mamacro and babel-plugin-mamacro with newer version of lerna (3.x), where the LICENSE files would be distributed alongside each of those two packages. But that would assume there is a LICENSE file in the source repository – which is not the case here.
mamacro is transpiled out of the source during the build, you can look at the actual implementation of mamacro.
It should be in devDependecies because it's not used in production.
Provided PR how webasembly/ast uses mamacro here: xtuc/webassemblyjs#453
Anyway this doesn't change the situation. Mamacro doesn't have a license and without it, it is a proprietary code and we cannot download it nor install it as part of devDependencies.
