Issue

License file suggests some kind of 3-clause-BSD file (because it is not 100% the original license text), but package.json is set to MIT. Please clarify the license information on this library.

@mcollina do you know how we would handle this? Original license is https://github.com/garycourt/uri-js/blob/a1acf730b4bba3f1097c9f52e7d9d3aba8cdcaae/package.json#L56

Should we update the license to specify all the commits from uri-js are BSD-2-Clause and now MIT ?

[mcollina]

No. The license was never MIT. What matters is the actual license text, not the package.json.
We need to change the license field in package.json.

Good spot @vagas87!

Actually, kudos to my PO, who spotted this while checking SBOMs. He did not have his private GitHub credentials at hand when discovering this at work, so he asked me to open this issue for him 😅
