Remove 'npm-monitoring' analytics. about fingerprintjs HOT 2 CLOSED

Hello @blopker
Thanks for creating this issue.
You're right, we did remove mentions from the documentation how to disable the NPM monitoring.
This happened when we released a v4 of the library and changed its license to BSL.
You can read the details about this change here: https://fingerprint.com/blog/fingerprintjs-license-change

If you use v3 of the library, this capability is still documented, and the library version is available under a more permissive MIT license.

If you use the fourth version of the library (v4), public documentation no longer includes the description of how to remove the monitoring.
This is done because the BSL license does not permit to use the library in production unless you purchased a commercial license.
If you want to disable the monitoring w/out using the library in production, please email [email protected] and we'll help you with this request.

Please do the right thing and remove this, or at least tell people about it.

This behavior is documented in the public API documentation here:
https://github.com/fingerprintjs/fingerprintjs/blob/master/docs/api.md
There are no plans to add to the documentation of the v4 how to disable the monitoring at this point.

Hope this is helpful.

I'm going to close this issue, please feel free to reopen with additional questions or concerns.

Thanks for the reply and confirming this will not be fixed.

I've gone ahead and removed this from our dependencies.
