Sandro Boehme resolved SLING-4463.
----------------------------------
Resolution: Invalid
This was a misunderstanding. In it's license npm refers to a package as a
general software package. Not as an npm package in its registry.
See Ians explaination here:

> 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.
