Change license in package.json

[KiwiKilian]

Description

The new license should be reflected within package.json like this:

"license": "FSL-1.1-MIT",

This is important for automated license checking to work.

Ah yeah, thanks for catching @KiwiKilian. Which tools do you use to check for license automatically?

[KiwiKilian]

Currently this one: https://github.com/RSeidelsohn/license-checker-rseidelsohn

Also see #1141 as slightly related.

Going to release an update with the changes we discussed, thanks for the feedback! I noticed the FSL license doesn't have a SPDX license identifier which npm docs mention should use SEE LICENSE IN <filename>. I kept it as you proposed, let me know if your tooling works with that change or I need to update to the npm suggestion please

[KiwiKilian]

I think it's fine, as it's the current proposed SPDX identifier, see spdx/license-list-XML#2458.

Thank you for your thoughtful consideration!

Thanks for including the thread, I enjoyed the discussion and further threads linked there. I think it's fair to add a license section on the website to explain the choice. Hopefully the adoption doesn't become problematic as a result of this change
