[Question] Reduce repeated licence text

[erosman]

Bundling of monaco-editor produces 1,384 lines (78 kb) of repeated licence text.

Are they all legally necessary?
Can it be reduced to one for all?

I don't know how necessary or not these notices are. I'm not able to provide you with legal advice.

You can move them to another file with linked/external if you don't want them to impact download time: https://esbuild.github.io/api/#legal-comments. Or you can turn them off entirely with none.

Fair enough. Thank you for the help.

If it was possible to condense the repeated legal-comment, this topic can be changed to a feature request.
Otherwise, feel free to close this topic.

For example:

That sounds like a reasonable feature request to me.
