Sandro Boehme commented on SLING-4463:
--------------------------------------

>From the discussion on the Sling dev mailing list it turns out, that it's probably not an issue as npm is not checked in to the SVN. Only the declaration in the pom that npm should be installed is checked in. npm itself is downloaded at build time.

> 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.
