Is your proposal related to a problem?
I'm not expert on software licenses, but from what I gathered, when deploying an javascript application bundle to production and serving it on a web server, this counts as distribution of statically linked software, where I need to follow the licenses of all javascript npm packages used by my project. So when I'm using create-react-app in my application, most dependencies are MIT or similar, which cause no issues. But there is an exception: caniuse-lite has CC-BY-4.0 license, which states the need to give explicit credit to the author when distributing the software. Does this mean that all projects using create-react-app need to provide such credits somewhere in the web application they are producing? Or am I misunderstanding something?
Describe the solution you'd like
If so, then I think we should state somewhere in the documentation of create-react-app that the users need to credit caniuse-lite or caniuse.
Describe alternatives you've considered
I've already contacted caniuse-lite but they say it's the license coming from the mother project caniuse.
Also caniuse are not willing to change this:
