Descripción

See https://github.com/search?p=2&q="LicenseRef-LICENSE"&type=Code

Over the years, npm had a few evolving conventions:

See https://softwareengineering.stackexchange.com/questions/285885/which-spdx-license-is-equivalent-to-all-rights-reserved

> This should be enough to satisfy NPM commands if you had a missing or incorrect license, and this does replace the older "license": "LicenseRef-LICENSE" of earlier NPM versions.

This legacy way should be supported. It is seen on bower packages too
