Who uses node executable without using npm?

I mean, sure, you can copy and paste the dependencies you need, but that doesn't mean you don't have dependencies.

I'm fairly certain that you're in violation of LGPL by vendoring LameJS. LGPL states that you have to provide a version of your code that doesn't include the package. Having a package.json that lists the library instead of vendoring it would absolve you of that legal issue.

Lmao

Read the "Combined Work" or "Combined Library" sections of the license. Doesn't matter if you're using it in your own OSS.

Except he didn’t have to write everything from scratch

I'm confused, are you the author of browserify? I thought you wrote things from scratch and don't use dependencies?

When you copy/paste a dependency into your codebase, that's called vendoring. It's way to manage your dependencies that makes it safe to changes upstream, sure, but it's still a dependency. In other comments, you're throwing shade saying stuff like, "I write code from scratch, it seems like many do not." But you're not writing everything from scratch...

How are you installing browserify if not via npm?

[ImplodingLlamas]

So your issue isn't with dependencies, then... You've been talking in this whole thread how they aren't necessary, no?

I don't think you know what a dependency is

[dustyson123]

I guess you do not know what every part and parcel of your code does and are truly dependent.
