Description

Your license (Apache 2.0) requires all usages to include full license text with the shipped software.

However, `formik` not including the LICENSE file in the shipped npm package makes it significantly harder to automate this process. LICENSE is included in the repository, however fetching repo contents for all dependency packages would be painfully slow as opposed to simply retrieving LICENSE files from node_modules.

Research direction

Start with the repository’s LICENSE file and inspect how the npm package contents are assembled. Verify the packed package includes the full LICENSE text, then check the resulting package contents to confirm consumers can retrieve it from node_modules.
