I've always wondered why npm defaults to the ISC license rather than MIT. MIT seemed more well-known and similarly permissive. Turns out that ISC is essentially a shorter MIT! https://choosealicense.com/licenses/isc/

ISC License

A permissive license lets people do anything with your code with proper attribution and without warranty. The ISC license is functionally equivalent to the BSD 2-Clause and MIT licenses, removing some language that is no longer necessary.
