Publish to NPM with proper LICENSE metadata. #7

The newest version of this package on NPM still specifies "license: none" (https://www.npmjs.com/package/domelementtype).

Can you publish a new version to NPM which has the proper license tag in package.json (This is already included in master, but the version is not published yet).

Having proper license metadata helps managing large projects with complex dependencies. Currently, when using, e.g., https://github.com/iandotkelly/nlf, this package shows up as a false positive, since the license cannot be automatically detected.

And it's kinda funny, but Git states that the license is BSD 2 Clause, but the text is BSD 3 Clause.

@hrieke, also the text is BSD 2 Clause, see how the third "Neither the name of the copyright holder nor [...]" clause is missing. It's just that the formatting is a bit off.

The license is the BSD-2-Clause. I would be surprised if this even passes the bar for copyright protection.

My goal with this library was to publish a single version, then leave it as it is. I doubt there will be a new release in the foreseeable future.
