In theory, yes. In practice, some packages completely leave it out, some
packages put it under "license" and some under "licenses", and many
packages don't bother to include the license text with the code. I've
filed dozens of tickets with upstream NodeJS projects to improve these,
most of which have been ignored for years. I've come to the unfortunate
conclusion that the NodeJS community in general can't be bothered with
license details.
