Consultant Asking About NPM Software Licenses
I thought that was a fairly weird question. A couple of our APIs run on Ubuntu, which contains GNU software. He has access to our source code, and I had also previously sent him the output of license checker so he really should have been able to answer this himself.

Big Changes Ahead for Deno
I don't care whether it's all in one file or in a dozen files, but I want all of that information to be available programmatically in a text file (unlike in a readme or on Github) in a standardized location in a project.
In that respect, package.json is a strict win. Your lack of willingness to use `git blame` to see why you added a line, or lack of reasonable git comments, is not to be blamed on the file.
Complexity is unavoidable. How could you write a tool like license-checker [1] for a Go-based project without having license information in a standardized location? Without the scripts section, how can you create a tool like husky [2] that automatically installs git hooks for a project? Every single part of package.json is there for a good reason; at best you could argue that putting some of it in other files would be aesthetically superior, but that's just bikeshedding.
Complexity isn't de facto bad. Some complexity is required if you want a certain level of functionality to become available. Deno (and Go) are slowly accumulating that "cruft" as people realize that those functions are actually useful or even critical to a mature ecosystem.

Richard Stallman calls for software package systems that help maintain your freedoms

Introducing sbomx.com - Software Bill of Materials X
For JavaScript I always used davglass/license-checker as a starting point but it's not being maintained anymore. Then I did similar things for the backend code, put everything together and sent it to the legal and security teams. At some point I thought "There must be a better way!". So, I started building sbomx about one and a half years ago. It's working fine enough to show it to the world and gather some feedback.

Italian Courts Find Open Source Software Terms Enforceable
Good doctors and drivers make mistakes, too, and they still face liability for those mistakes.
I think that if your company is large enough, you should have employees, or pay someone, to mirror your dependencies and automate license checks. There are projects that do the latter already[1][2]. You can loop your lawyers in if licenses change to ensure you don't violate them. If (A)GPL code still ships in proprietary products, that's a process problem that the company needs to solve.

How do I explain the concept of open source software to my boss?
Also, your IT dept is not entirely without concern here, you should be ensuring that you're not violating any open source licenses in your project, and be using something like https://www.npmjs.com/package/license-checker or an equivalent license checking service in your project language to ensure that everything is kosher
