ua-parser-js License Change and What It Means for Developers
ua-parser-js, one of the most used libraries on npm with over 54 million monthly downloads, is undergoing a major licensing change in the JavaScript ecosystem. The fact that this development has come to pass speaks to the continued struggle for open-source sustainability and raises questions about the future of other popular JavaScript libraries.

How to get request user device information
The best parser I found in overall is ua-parser-js which is javascript only. The one I used for my url shortener service, which is using golang, is a combination of 2 parsers to match the result retrieved by ua-parser-js.

Modern PHP
With NPM, what's actually published is not what's in the git repo, so it's harder to inspect/review vulnerabilities or hijacking. With composer, what's in git _is_ what composer pulls (with the exception of rules in .gitattributes to exclude files etc), making it much easier to trace. One such example: https://github.com/faisalman/ua-parser-js/issues/536
Composer packages are vendor namespaced, so hijacking an abandoned package is not possible (and it is with NPM), some examples like https://www.theregister.com/2021/08/10/github_npm_package/

Some developers are fouling up open-source software
Sure, I suppose in theory it could happen with other ecosystems, but for some reason it doesn't. It sure seems to just keep happening in NPM though.
