Please consider adding a license to this work, and output the license statement in the generated index.d.ts file.

I'm only permitted to use works with an Apache 2.0 compatible license or an Apache 2.0 compatible public domain license; I hope that that will be possible for you.

Thank you.

Hello! I added a license to the repo: https://github.com/dillonkearns/elm-typescript-interop/blob/master/LICENSE.

I had a license specified in the package.json, but it's a good practice to include it in the repo as well.

What would be a good way to describe the license in the generated file? Should I link to the license file, or link to the repo maybe? And mention that it is BSD-3?

Thank you, @dillonkearns!

I've seen many variations of license; I don't know what is legally best. Here are some examples from some major open-source providers, however:

/*! jQuery v3.3.1 | (c) JS Foundation and other contributors | jquery.org/license */

// All material copyright ESRI, All Rights Reserved, unless otherwise specified.
// See https://js.arcgis.com/4.10/esri/copyright.txt for details.

/**
 * @license RequireJS 2.3.6 Copyright jQuery Foundation and other contributors.
 * Released under MIT license, https://github.com/requirejs/requirejs/blob/master/LICENSE
 */

/*
	Copyright (c) 2004-2016, The JS Foundation All Rights Reserved.
	Available via Academic Free License >= 2.1 OR the modified BSD license.
	see: http://dojotoolkit.org/license for details
