NPM does not detect the MIT licence

[jaller94]

NPM is not picking up on this project being MIT licensed. The licence detection is used by a couple of compliance analyzers, so it would be helpful to change the entry from none to MIT.
I am not sure what the issue is.

I think it's because the license was added after the last release.

Please make a new release with the updated license. It's causing build issues when validating licenses.

Thanks!

Hi @ogt 👋 would it be possible to get a new version of this package published with the new license? Thank you!

This project, so as validatorhas a lot of issues and is not a reliable way to valid an URL.

I was facing a lot of issues so I decided to build a module as reliable as possible strictly based on RFC-3986: https://github.com/adrienv1520/node-uri

The main features of this project are:

• parse any URI (URNs, URLs, URIs with IDNs support, etc.);
• get the safe Punycode ASCII or Unicode serialization of a domain;
• check an URI, HTTP/HTTPS/Sitemap URL, IP, domain is valid with clear checking errors;
• encode/decode an URI, HTTP/HTTPS/Sitemap URL.

I hope it could help you.
