Research direction

Start at line 286 of source-map-support.js and review the following code alongside the linked V8 source and BSD-3-Clause license. Update the relevant source file to include the applicable BSD-3-Clause license and copyright notice, then verify that the attribution is present and correctly reflects the copied V8 code.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Line 286 of source-map-support.js indicates that the code that follows has been copied from V8, which is BSD-3-Clause-licensed (see e.g. their license file here and the original file the code seems to be copied from here - header also mentions the BSD license).

IMO the license & applicable copyright should be included in source-map-support to reflect this.
