             Summary: Resource Editor :: Find out if/how I can use npm (the node package manager) even if it uses the Artistic License 2.0.
                 Key: SLING-4463
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-4463
             Project: Sling
          Issue Type: Sub-task
          Components: Extensions
    Affects Versions: Resource Editor 1.0.2
            Reporter: Sandro Boehme
            Assignee: Sandro Boehme


npm's Artistic License 2.0 applies terms on which a npm package can be "copied, modified, distributed, and/or redistributed" additional to the license of the package itself. See https://www.npmjs.com/policies/npm-license.

>From my understanding I neither distribute (sections 2, 3, 4, 5, 6) nor aggregate (section 7) nor modify (section 11) the packages. 

But instead use them (section 1), link them (section 8) or "merly extend or make use of" them (section 9, 10). 

I extend packages by overwriting css or less rules and link them from my less files, JavaScript files or HTML files.

But I'm not remotely a laywer. This is why I wonder how to find out if I can use npm and it's Artistic License 2.0 in Sling.
