Description

Hi! Nice library, thank you for making it and packaging it up.

You mention that it's based on code from https://github.com/martine/python-sourcemap. I'm not a lawyer, but I am pretty sure that this makes your library a derivative work, which means you must include @martine's copyright, a copy of the Apache license, and make a note of which parts of the code are by @martine (which would be covered by the Apache license instead of the BSD license). You'd probably be best off mentioning all of this in the LICENSE file and/or readme.
