I'm not a lawyer so I can't say for certain and, to be honest, I don't spend much time understanding all the licensing issues revolving around Free/OpenSource Software, but both before and after this change the licensing of npm itself was and is Artistic License 2.0. before: - Copyright (c) Isaac Z. Schlueter - All rights reserved. - npm is released under the Artistic 2.0 License. - The text of the License follows: after: + The npm application + Copyright (c) npm, Inc. and Contributors + Licensed on the terms of The Artistic License 2.0 ... and then it goes on to mention that npm packages are licensed by their creators, npm isn't responsible for them or their contents, and specifies the ownership of various trademarks, logos, and the licensing of the typeface used on their website. So my best guess is that nothing has changed other than a legal entity was created "npm, Inc." to oversee npm instead of one person being personally responsible. But, like I said, I'm no expert in these things.
