It's not just legal but also the practical point of view. They committed fraud when they clicked that checkbox. It's exactly the same as signing a contract with someone else's name.

Also when you do npm i. That's fraud.

Did you just agree to opt the company into that smorgasbord of licenses?

Not really, most (larger) companies have internal policies about that, listing the acceptable licenses. Which is exactly what I said - the employees are given the power to accept the terms. Some employees can sign SaaS contracts, though that's usually much less people.
