In v2, not v1, package.json uses deprecated form of license {}

See original GitHub issue

Reference: https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/v7/configuring-npm/package-json

Some old packages used license objects or a “licenses” property … Those styles are now deprecated.

In v2, package.json, you have: "license": { "type": "MIT", "url": "http://github.com/kriskowal/q/raw/master/LICENSE" }, Better to stick with what you have in v1: "license": "MIT",

Q v2, never released officially, forever in beta, is downloaded 500K times every week as a dependency and no one noticed. This is pretty funny.

500 thousand installations every week - not a single bug report ^^ (except this one about the license). We’re living in amazing times.

Uh, oh. I suppose if it’s working for them, it’s working, even though it never switched to being latest.

A PR for the license block change would be welcome. It would also be good to put a publishConfig block into package.json to make sure the v2 train doesn’t get promoted to latest just in the process of updating the package.json.
