Description

Hi,

This package has a direct dependency on point-in-polygon, which appears to no longer be maintained:
https://www.npmjs.com/package/point-in-polygon
As shown by the NPM package page, it hasn't been published for 5 years and the link connects to a repository that no longer exists:
https://github.com/substack/point-in-polygon
This makes it impossible to determine copyright, unless resorting to this archived repository:
https://archive.softwareheritage.org/browse/origin/directory/?origin_url=https://github.com/substack/point-in-polygon&visit_type=git

Please could you consider not relying on this package any longer?

Research direction

Start by inspecting the dependency declaration and the places where point-in-polygon is used. Investigate a maintained replacement or an internal alternative, including copyright and license information, then run the project's existing tests. Done means the obsolete dependency is no longer required and the concave hull behavior remains covered.
