One shouldn't really care what npm did/does outside npm projects unless that aspect of npm becomes widespread beyond their eco-system. And it seems the Unlicense predates npm by at least 11 days (1 January 2010 vs 12 January 2010, but it seems like npm didn't start that word for this meaning until much later anyway). I wonder how much the Unlicense's name was inspired by 7-Up's long-running "The Uncola" advertising campaign or other similar pop culture usages of "un-" as a joke-ish like that. It's not a perfect use of the word, perhaps, but it's cute without being offensive so I like it (this is ignoring any actual concerns about its content, which would be a distinct discussion).
