Stuck on an issue?

Lightrun Answers was designed to reduce the constant googling that comes with debugging 3rd party libraries. It collects links to all the places you might be looking at while hunting down a tough bug.

And, if you’re still stuck at the end, we’re happy to hop on a call to see how we can help out.

Any chance we could get a sane license on this?

package.json (NPM) claims this is an MIT library, but the LICENSE file says otherwise. It’s actually a mish-mash of MIT, 3-clause BSD and a custom footnote. To be clear it’s not “dual licensed” as MIT and BSD, it’s somehow both at once (with modifications from Brian!)

Could you please contact the original license holders and request the removal of the footnote, then relicense your portion as 3-clause BSD, then there will be just one license for this code.

Using the original license seems the most legally-sound. Fixed in 1.1.8.

Sure thing.
