curiousity killed the cat about ignorable HOT 3 OPEN

my initial assumption was that it is unsafe to ignore any code file and safe to remove docs/markdowns and other plain text files. I was warned that removing license is not good from the legal perspective.

from ignorable.

hmm, it's peculiar though. READMEs are safe to delete, but not example.js. Same for the test folder but not test.js..

regarding AUTHORS and NOTICE - they follow in the legal bucket, as the LICENSE may say that all rights are reserved to those mentioned in the AUTHORS file, and/or that reuse of the work need to embed the NOTICE

from ignorable.

yes, the test folder should be treated same way as test.js. That is a mistake.

Regarding AUTHORS and NOTICE. The LICENSE file can say anything.

And also, what safe, what is unsafe is super-subjective. I'd prefer removing the distinction and having just the unsafe set.
