Dear Jérémy,

this clause is quite similar to the clause 6c of the The LaTeX Project Public
License version 1.3c.

  6.  If you are not the Current Maintainer of the Work, you may
  distribute a Derived Work provided the following conditions are met
  (...)
    c. No information in the Derived Work implies that any persons,
     including (but not limited to) the authors of the original version
     of the Work, provide any support, including (but not limited to)
     the reporting and handling of errors, to recipients of the
     Derived Work unless those persons have stated explicitly that
     they do provide such support for the Derived Work.

By analogy, it looks that the npm license is free.

Have a nice day,
