NPM has switched from MIT to Artistic license with version 1.3.7. Considering that the Artistic license has a clause that prohibits modification, I don't think npm can be considered free software. Currently, the nodejs ebuild does not acknowledge the Artistic license of npm and just states BSD, Apache and MIT. Reproducible: Always

Apologies, but it's actually Artistic-2. I seem to have overlooked that distinction. Here's the proof: https://github.com/nodejs/node/blob/main/LICENSE#L1840-L1844
