Consider migrating from abandoned `license-checker` to `license-checker-evergreen`

Summary

I noticed this project uses license-checker for license auditing. The original package hasn't been updated since January 2019 (over 6 years!) and appears to be abandoned.

Suggested Alternative

license-checker-evergreen is an actively maintained fork with several improvements:

• Full TypeScript support with included type definitions
• ES Modules native support (not just CommonJS)
• Node.js 18+ optimized for current LTS versions
• Additional output formats: Markdown, Tree view, Plain Vertical
• Active maintenance with regular security updates
• Drop-in replacement - same CLI flags, same output formats

Migration (30 seconds)

npm uninstall license-checker
npm install license-checker-evergreen
# Update scripts: license-checker → license-checker-evergreen

Drop-in replacement - same CLI flags, same output formats.

Why This Matters

Using an unmaintained package for license compliance creates risk:

• No security patches for 6+ years
• No support for newer Node.js versions
• No bug fixes or improvements

Happy to answer any questions about the migration!

Disclosure: I maintain license-checker-evergreen

Start by locating the npm dependency and scripts that reference license-checker. Compare the proposed package's compatibility with the current audit commands, then replace the references and run the project's license-auditing workflow to confirm it still works with the same flags and output.
