Please add the full text of the MIT license to each individual distribution file, including dist/immutable.js and dist/immutable.min.js. The full text of the MIT license is the entire contents of the LICENSE file.

The reason for this request is as follows:

The MIT License (and your license) states: "The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in all copies or substantial portions of the Software." The issue is that if each JavaScript file just refers to the MIT license and LICENSE file in a comment at the head of the JavaScript file (as these files do currently), then we are unable to comply with that license requirement when delivering this code to a user's web browser, because the LICENSE file is not delivered to the user's web browser.

In addition to the copyright notice, we believe the only way to enable us to truly comply with the stated license requirement is to include the actual permission notice (your license text) in each distributed JavaScript file.

Alternatively, the author could choose to respond to this request by explicitly stating in this issue his or her intent to not include a copy of the MIT license in the network-distributed source code. That response would suffice for us to show that we took all reasonable efforts to comply. The response could be worded as follows:

"It is the author’s intent to not include a copy of the MIT license in the network-distributed source code."

Thank you for your accommodation.

Oracle Corporation respectfully requests a response to our inquiry by Wednesday, July 22, 2020. If Oracle does not receive your response by then, Oracle assumes it is the author’s intent to not include a copy of the MIT license in the network-distributed source code.
