What you have to do

None

If you only use it at build time, the answer changes.

CC0-1.0 appears as a dev dependency, so it is not part of the artifact you ship. Distribution-triggered obligations do not arise. Tools that emit code into your output, such as code generators, are a separate case worth checking individually.

About CC0-1.0

A public-domain dedication rather than a license. The author waives all copyright interest to the extent legally possible, so no attribution or other condition attaches.

How this was determined

The license was read from the npm registry, then evaluated against each shipping model. Only the declared license is considered; code copied into a project's own source files is not detected by this method.

LicenseGuard reports information derived from published license texts and dependency manifests. It is not legal advice and using it does not create an attorney-client relationship. Results reflect license metadata as declared; they do not identify every obligation or violation. Consult qualified counsel for decisions that matter.
