Description
The DefinitelyTyped license file states that
Copyrights are respective of each contributor listed at the beginning of each definition file.
—however, the license file that is used when publishing packages to NPM only states
Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation.
in this regard.
It's unclear whether or not these two license files are meant to be different, but I thought that I should bring it to your attention (if you weren't already aware).
