I've noticed that while you have a LICENSE file, the license isn't specified in the package.json. I'd like to propose a small yet significant enhancement by adding the license information to your package.json. This change offers several benefits:

  • Immediate Visibility: It provides instant clarity regarding the licensing terms right from the package metadata, which is beneficial for users and developers exploring your package.
  • Tool Compatibility: Automated tools and services, like npm and GitHub, rely on the package.json file to detect and display license information. This enhancement ensures your project is correctly recognized in various ecosystems.
  • Community Best Practices: Including the license in package.json is a common practice in the open-source community. It helps in maintaining consistency with these standards.
  • Legal Clarity: Specifying the license in both the package.json and the LICENSE file eliminates ambiguity about your project's licensing terms, which is crucial for legal clarity.

Sure I'd be happy to add this - note that the next release may be up to a couple of months out yet though as well.
