On npmjs, the package is reported as GPL-3.0 (see https://www.npmjs.com/package/graphviz)

From the history, the package.json is fixed, but without updating the version number (and without publishing to NPM?)
(see 162db2c)

Please publish a new version to NPM with the fixed license information.

Thanks,
Sven

We can not use this package because of two GPL-license problems:

  1. License checkers handle this as GPL-3.0 based on the latest published package.json version 0.0.9 from 3. April 2019 - the PR correcting the package.json to MIT is from 8. April 2019 and not published, yet.

  2. License scan alerts on the file lib\ext\gvpr\dot2js.g
