GitHub now displays the license name in the repo header, so it's not as useful. Would be nice to simplify the readme.

@SamVerschueren @kevva Thoughts?

My two cents: github header is a thing that could be change over the time.

Also, you will lose the value out of github scope, for example, when you install the module using npm

I’m confident GitHub will never remove it. I don’t see how it’s lost when using npm, can you elaborate?

nevermind because looks npm website is showing the same information 🙂

I agree that it's moot nowadays and we can safely remove it.

I'm doing this whenever I touch a repo. Going to take a while to do this to all my repos though.
