It's pleasant to the eyes but : - "Free" is not the kind of license I trust (there's a guy talking about his stealed code on HN this sunday, just check) - Not responsive ? Come on we're in 2012 - It would be better if it was hosted on github (or bitbucket). So everyone could improve it (but again what's the license ?) There's a lot of competition in this field and at this stage I don't see any valid reason to use thi…

I think they don't mean to give it away free in the long run. They did it for redactor[1] too. (I think it is the full featured awesome and simple WYSIWYG editor)

It's totally upto the developer to decide upon on the licence. There are lot of projects under FREE, but not open sourced.

I emailed the authors about a week ago and Alex clarified that free to them means it can be redistributed freely. I agree that an actual license would be reassuring though.

Nice but Zurb does this and so much more.

As others said, why not bootstrap?

I've used Bootstrap and switched to Kube for a recent project. It's smaller and feels cleaner. Responsiveness feels tacked on in bootstrap rather than baked-in like Kube. Bootstrap is great for apps, but if you just need a good grid and some defaults for a content site, Kube is great.
