Describe the bug
Running the following command …
npx license-checker --production --excludePrivatePackages --onlyAllow "MIT" --onlyunknown
… in a project that uses svelte-sonner@0.3.25
results in:
└─ svelte-sonner@0.3.25
├─ licenses: MIT*
├─ publisher: Robert Soriano
├─ email: <SNIP>
├─ path: <SNIP>/node_modules/svelte-sonner
└─ licenseFile: <SNIP>/node_modules/svelte-sonner/README.md
The MIT*
here denotes that license-checker
could not find a license and thus had to make a guess based on the file contents of licenseFile
, which depending on your CI configuration may lead to a false negative.
The package's npm page also lists a License of none
.
