Npm package id distributed with different license

Hi! License in package differs from what I see in this repo

What comes within npm package:

Copyright (c) 2015 James Kyle [email protected] Permission to use, copy, modify, and/or distribute this software for any purpose with or without fee is hereby granted, provided that the above copyright notice and this permission notice appear in all copies.

So it's not clear what license should be used.

The published version must have the old MIT version, if a new version gets published it will turn into a BSD license. Both licenses are okay for open source projects, I wouldn't worry about it.

Yeah, but I use this package in non open source software, and I have to include all licenses that we use in it. So that why I was wondering :)
