It's normal...no problem. - i.brod
@sri haran You can ignore this, however if you are grateful to be using such wonderful open-source tools, you can express your gratitude by funding the fellow devs. Hence the command npm-fund - Aditya Patnaik

This is Normal. It's a new 'feature' added to Node from one of the recent updates. Crowd-funded apps, or devs looking for $$$ for the work they put in. From what I've seen, its all on the up and up. Feel free to contribute if youre in a position to do so.

This is just the latest form of this trend, as opens-source has been looking for funding since god was a boy.

Consider it like buying your friend's mix tape, but instead of crappy music, the product is something you'll actually use and it's free. So go on ahead and kick your people out a few bucks for the cause.
