Hey, Substack CTO here. We don't distribute Ghost's code at all and the only piece of code included is a client-side search library used by the third party theme. But that library is actually hotlinked and hosted on jsdelivr (via npm) with no modifications made to it what-so-ever. This includes the line at the top with the license link as Ghost originally built it

Hey, Substack CTO here. We don't hotlink to Ghost at all and instead use jsdelivr to link to client-side open-source libraries. jsdelivr is awesome btw, works with any npm module, and is fast and reliable https://www.jsdelivr.com
There's more to it than that. There are two resources involved. One is using Ghost's (jsdelivr-backed) CDN. The other is just using jsdelivr's CDN for any and every NPM package that gets published in the clear.
The asset that thefp.com is using is the one that gets loaded from the latter (the one served from the public CDN), and you can see that this was true even at the time that O'Nolan's screenshots were taken. For some reason, he mixed them up; the only evidence that we have of anyone here using the CDN that Ghost is (presumably) paying for is Ghost's own use of it themselves.
Hey, Substack CTO here. The Ghost-written code in question here is the client-side search library that the third-party theme uses. We link directly to the files hosted on jsdelivr (via npm) which in-turn uses the files Ghost built for distribution. Those files include the license link at the top, as Ghost intended, and are not modified or minified by us at all

Hey Substack CTO here. We actually don't host, modify, or minify the client side library in question. We link directly to the jsdelivr CDN for it and the distributed files from there have a license link at the top
Hey, Substack CTO here. We're actually not using Ghost's platform and have instead built a theming API that is compatible with third-party themes that are built for Ghost. The one piece of code that the theme uses that's developed by Ghost is the open source search library used on the frontend. In this case the theme links directly to the files that Ghost has distributed on jsdelivr via npm
Hey, Substack CTO here. We actually don't minify or modify the files in question at all and simply link to the versions hosted on the public jsdelivr CDN (which includes a link to the license right at the top of the file)
Hey, Substack CTO here. We actually link directly to the jsdeliver CDN to use the files that get built for distribution in the sodo-search npm library. We make no modifications to the files (including not minifying them anymore than they are). The files actually do have a link at the top to the license file, which is hosted in the same directory on jsdeliver.
> The files actually do have a link at the top to the license file
That's not actually the license for the file; it's the license for the resources it includes. The license for the file is available elsewhere but is not directly linked. See my comment at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33959622
