Description
What
@keystatic/core@0.5.51 → @toeverything/y-indexeddb@0.10.0-canary.9 → y-provider@0.10.0-canary.9.
y-provider (a Yjs provider utility from the AFFiNE project, published in 2023 as canary builds) has no license field in its package.json, no LICENSE file in the tarball, and no repository field, so licence scanners report it as "no licence declared". The latest published version, 0.10.3-canary.2 (2023-11-23), is the same. The AFFiNE monorepo it comes from is MIT-licensed, but nothing in the npm artefact says so.
Why it matters
Anyone running a licence audit on a Keystatic-based site (we generate sites with Keystatic as an optional CMS and keep a dependency licence register) ends up with one transitive package they cannot classify, and @toeverything/y-indexeddb is the only reason it is in the tree.
Ask
One of:
- pin
@toeverything/y-indexeddbto a release whosey-providerdeclares a licence, if one exists; - vendor or replace the IndexedDB provider so the unlicensed canary package is no longer required;
- or, if you have a line to the AFFiNE maintainers, ask for a
license: MITfield ony-providerand a non-canary release.
Happy to test a canary. Thanks for Keystatic.
Reproduce
npm view y-provider@0.10.0-canary.9 license repository # both empty
npm view @toeverything/y-indexeddb@0.10.0-canary.9 dependencies

Research direction
Start by running the listed npm view commands and tracing @keystatic/core@0.5.51 through @toeverything/y-indexeddb@0.10.0-canary.9 to y-provider. Determine whether a suitable release or replacement removes the undeclared licence metadata; done means the dependency tree no longer contains an unclassifiable y-provider package, or its upstream package declares the licence.
