Wrong license spdx (MIT instead of Apache-2.0) is shown in the npmjs.com repository

[johannesstellnberger]

In the metadata shown in the npmjs.com repository of this component is wrong (MIT instead of Apache-2.0).
If you display the license file (shown at code link) the correct license file is attached.

==> is it possible to correct this metadata so npm works with all metadata correct?

You're right there's a mismatch; I'd say the SPDX declaration takes precedence personally (50513fc) but the license file could be argued as well.

There are 10 non-bot contributors. Can each of you explicitly confirm whether you're comfortable with your contributions being Apache-2, MIT, or either? (Ideally, we'll go with MIT, but the important point is that all contributors agree)

Thanks for explicitly checking with contributors @ljharb

I'm comfortable with either license for my contributions.

Apologies for the confusion here. Looks like this was a mistake I committed awhile back & never caught it. Given that I checked in the Apache license I believe that's likely what should take precedence even though the package.json metadata is often used by tools. I'm flexible though so I checked "either". I'll leave it to the current maintainers to decide how to move forward.

Tidying up the licence confusion in parseArgs repo. Would you please confirm whether you're comfortable with your contributions being Apache-2, MIT, or either?

You can just tick the appropriate checkboxes in this comment:

@shadowspawn I'm comfortable with either licence. I usually opt for MIT.

[Eomm]

Late to the party - those licences LGTM

Awesome, thank you! I'm on it.
