StandardError.js is released under a Lesser GNU Affero General Public License. There is no such license, it was made by the author by merging LGPL and AGPL clauses to create a franken-LAGPL. oslc-client shall stop using this library until GNU releases such a license and it becomes OSI/FSF-approved or the author switches to EUPL, for example.

I think that even if moll/js-standard-error#4 is resolved with a switch to EUPL, this will still require further action from us and require a license of this lib to be changed to one of:

‘Compatible Licences’ according to Article 5 EUPL are:

— GNU General Public License (GPL) v. 2, v. 3

— GNU Affero General Public License (AGPL) v. 3

— Open Software License (OSL) v. 2.1, v. 3.0

— Eclipse Public License (EPL) v. 1.0

— CeCILL v. 2.0, v. 2.1

— Mozilla Public Licence (MPL) v. 2

— GNU Lesser General Public Licence (LGPL) v. 2.1, v. 3

— Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike v. 3.0 Unported (CC BY-SA 3.0) for works other than software

— European Union Public Licence (EUPL) v. 1.1, v. 1.2

— Québec Free and Open-Source Licence — Reciprocity (LiLiQ-R) or Strong Reciprocity (LiLiQ-R+)

EPL would probably be the best but still may be a bit tricky to do.
