Right, So I am doing a research project and If I want to use this library in that project, does that mean I have to pay to use it. My project is currently closed source , because don't want anyone to steal stuff before I publish my paper. After that the code goes public.
As long as you don't make any changes, sounds like it's free and unrestricted.

Hi everyone, I have written a C++ library for creating native GUI apps, it also has language bindings for Lua and JavaScript (V8). In the past I have written the Electron framework, which is a popular project for creating desktop apps with Chrome web engine and Node.js, while this library allows you to create native desktop apps. If you want to see some screenshots and example code, check out the sample apps repo: ht…
Are you the same developer Roger Wang wrote about in his "Statement on the history of node-webkit project" public post?
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/nwjs-general/LIrC7zH...
He claims you misrepresented the scope of your work as an intern on the node-webkit project (now named nw.js), and that you removed copyright notices from code in Electron that was derived from node-webkit.
Compounded with the other HNer's comments regarding its licensing, make your own judgments.
I'm sure this is an amazing project. But the readme and FAQ and such have such an aggressive, almost hostile tone---if you want to communicate with the author at all, even to report a bug, it'll be five thousand bucks a month...
Sorry for the unfriendly tone, some of them were written after reading some reddit comments... And as explained in the FAQ, you can always go to the yue/help repo to report things and I will read them.
Vue Yue Vue Yue Yao Yue.
Is that as amazing as I think it is? The Electron killer, the Holy Grail of UI frameworks, the El Dorado of cross-compatibility, the One Library to rule them all?

What are you talking about? The author literally says: "for help please go to the yue/help repo where users help themselves. To report a bug, you have to create a pull request with a test case of your problem, or you can choose to subscribe to paid plans." What's exactly hostile there? The author gave you, the potential user, a gift, totally free of charge, and even explained politely where and how to find help. They…
Some small modifications to the text can make the messaging more friendly. For example "To report a bug, please create a pull request with a test case of your problem." (instead of "you have to")
It's a small change, but conveys the same requirements without conveying a notion that the reader is a burden. Instead it just asks a favor, since we're all humans talking to each other in good faith.
It seems small, it seems pedantic, but we're guided by our emotions. The fact that this thread exists is proof that it affected at least some people enough to comment about it
