make package.json and composer.json license match (GPL 2+)

Open on Drupal.org →
Created on 27 March 2025, about 1 month ago

Problem/Motivation

There is confusion around the licensing.

The Rivet theme' composer.json file lists the correct license as GPL-2.0+

However, the Rivet theme's project page and the package.json lists the license as BSD-3-Clause, which is inherited from the upstream codebase's package.json. The upstream design system is not packaged in the repository, and only has a build dependency (no runtime dependency).

Proposed resolution

Remove mention of upstream BSD license from the Drupal theme's project page.
Change the license in package.json to GPL-2.0+ for consistency with composer.json and Drupal.org contrib module/theme hosting requirements.
Get confirmation whether we need to mention and/or include the upstream's BSD license in the various touch-points around the codebase, including:

  • the dependency in package.json - used by maintainers to to compile css variables in generated css files.
  • the reference in rivet.libraries.yml - to load the CSS library from CDN.
  • the various SCSS files where mixins and sass variables are used, eg rvt-c-header-menu.scss
  • the various compiled CSS files, where mixins and sass variables are compiled down to raw CSS.
