| 42 | +### v2.10.0 (2015-05-8): |
| 43 | + |
| 44 | +#### THE IMPLICATIONS ARE MORE PROFOUND THAN THEY APPEAR |
| 45 | + |
| 46 | +If you've done much development in The Enterprise®™, you know that keeping |
| 47 | +track of software licenses is far more important than one might expect / hope / |
| 48 | +fear. Tracking licenses is a hassle, and while many (if not most) of us have |
| 49 | +(reluctantly) gotten around to setting a license to use by default with all our |
| 50 | +new projects (even if it's just WTFPL), that's about as far as most of us think |
| 51 | +about it. In big enterprise shops, ensuring that projects don't inadvertently |
| 52 | +use software with unacceptably encumbered licenses is serious business, and |
| 53 | +developers spend a surprising (and appalling) amount of time ensuring that |
| 54 | +licensing is covered by writing automated checkers and other license auditing |
| 55 | +tools. |
| 56 | + |
| 57 | +The Linux Foundation has been working on a machine-parseable syntax for license |
| 58 | +expressions in the form of [SPDX](https://spdx.org/), an appropriately |
| 59 | +enterprisey acronym. IP attorney and JavaScript culture hero [Kyle |
| 60 | +Mitchell](http://kemitchell.com/) has put a considerable amount of effort into |
| 61 | +bringing SPDX to JavaScript and Node. He's written |
| 62 | +[`spdx.js`](https://github.com/kemitchell/spdx.js), a JavaScript SPDX |
| 63 | +expression parser, and has integrated it into npm in a few different ways. |
| 64 | + |
| 65 | +For you as a user of npm, this means: |
| 66 | + |
| 67 | +* npm now has proper support for dual licensing in `package.json`, due to |
| 68 | + SPDX's compound expression syntax. Run `npm help package.json` for details. |
| 69 | +* npm will warn you if the `package.json` for your project is either missing a |
| 70 | + `"license"` field, or if the value of that field isn't a valid SPDX |
| 71 | + expression (pro tip: `"BSD"` becomes `"BSD-2-Clause"` in SPDX (unless you |
| 72 | + really want one of its variants); `"MIT"` and `"ISC"` are fine as-is; the |
| 73 | + [full list](https://github.com/shinnn/spdx-license-ids/blob/master/spdx-license-ids.json) |
| 74 | + is its own package). |
| 75 | +* `npm init` now demands that you use a valid SPDX expression when using it |
| 76 | + interactively (pro tip: I mostly use `npm init -y`, having previously run |
| 77 | + `npm config set init.license=MIT` / `npm config set init.author.email=foo` / |
| 78 | + `npm config set init.author.name=me`). |
| 79 | +* The documentation for `package.json` has been updated to tell you how to use |
| 80 | + the `"license"` field properly with SPDX. |
| 81 | + |
| 82 | +In general, this shouldn't be a big deal for anybody other than people trying |
| 83 | +to run their own automated license validators, but in the long run, if |
| 84 | +everybody switches to this format, many people's lives will be made much |
| 85 | +simpler. I think this is an important improvement for npm and am very thankful |
| 86 | +to Kyle for taking the lead on this. Also, even if you think all of this is |
| 87 | +completely stupid, just [choose a license](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/License-free_software) |
| 88 | +anyway. Future you will thank past you someday, unless you are |
| 89 | +[djb](http://cr.yp.to/), in which case you are djb, and more power to you. |
| 90 | + |
| 91 | +* [`8669f7d`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/8669f7d88c472ccdd60e140106ac43cca636a648) |
| 92 | + [#8179](https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/8179) Document how to use SPDX in |
| 93 | + `license` stanzas in `package.json`, including how to migrate from old busted |
| 94 | + license declaration arrays to fancy new compound-license clauses. |

| 97 | + [#8197](https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/8197) `[email protected]` |

| 106 | + [#8197](https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/8197) `[email protected]`: Switch from |
| 107 | + `BSD` to `ISC` for license, where the latter is valid SPDX. |

| 110 | + [#8197](https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/8197) `[email protected]`: Switch from |
| 111 | + `BSD` to `ISC` for license, where the latter is valid SPDX. |
| 112 | + ([@othiym23](https://github.com/othiym23)) |
| 113 | +* [`412401f`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/412401fb6a19b18f3e02d97a24d4dafed650c186) |
| 114 | + [#8197](https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/8197) `[email protected]`: Switch from |
| 115 | + `BSD` to `ISC` for license, where the latter is valid SPDX. |
| 116 | + ([@othiym23](https://github.com/othiym23)) |
| 117 | + |
| 118 | +As a corollary to the previous changes, I've put some work into making `npm |
| 119 | +install` spew out fewer pointless warnings about missing values in transitive |
| 120 | +dependencies. From now on, npm will only warn you about missing READMEs, |
| 121 | +license fields, and the like for top-level projects (including packages you |
| 122 | +directly install into your application, but we may relax that eventually). |
| 123 | + |
| 124 | +Practically _nobody_ liked having those warnings displayed for child |
| 125 | +dependencies, for the simple reason that there was very little that anybody |
| 126 | +could _do_ about those warnings, unless they happened to be the maintainers of |
| 127 | +those dependencies themselves. Since many, many projects don't have |
| 128 | +SPDX-compliant licenses, the number of warnings reached a level where they ran |
| 129 | +the risk of turning into a block of visual noise that developers (read: me, and |
| 130 | +probably you) would ignore forever. |
| 131 | + |
| 132 | +So I fixed it. If you still want to see the messages about child dependencies, |
| 133 | +they're still there, but have been pushed down a logging level to `info`. You |
| 134 | +can display them by running `npm install -d` or `npm install --loglevel=info`. |
| 135 | + |
| 136 | +* [`eb18245`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/eb18245f55fb4cd62a36867744bcd1b7be0a33e2) |
| 137 | + Only warn on normalization errors for top-level dependencies. Transitive |
| 138 | + dependency validation warnings are logged at `info` level. |
