Kenju fork Kendo UI Web (GPL3)
A few days ago there was one important event in the development of JS framework Kendo UI from the company Telerik. They released the OpenSource version of the product, under the Apache v2 license - Kendo UI Core. In fact, everything was not so simple and straightforward.
Previously, the entire Kendo UI library was released under the GPL v3 license, which did not allow it to be used free of charge in commercial products; for commercial applications, the Kendo UI commercial license was developed based on this library. But for OpenSource, this library was a real gift. Of course there are other similar libraries and they have a huge number of their fans. Plus Kendo can be considered:
1) Full jQuery support
2) A large number of widgets , which allows you to get by with one JS library (not counting jquery) in most cases
3) High-quality and nice themes
4) Excellent support for Twitter Bootstrap. For kendo even has its own theme bootstrap , to work simultaneously with the CSS framework.
')
The Apache v2 license allows you to use the Kendo UI library in commercial projects, and this is where the pluses end, since the Kendo UI Core version does not contain all of the usual widgets, but it does not include:
1) Editor
2) Grid
3) Scheduler
4) Treeview
5) Upload
There are a lot of analogs, of course, but do not forget that analogs are additional JS libraries and a different design style (css).
Previous versions of the framework (GPL v3) very quickly disappear from public access, so the version of kendoui.web.2013.3.1119.open-source I posted on github
Since the name Kendo is registered with Telerik, I renamed the framework to Kenjutsu, and after the reduction, a more sonorous Kenju is obtained.
The main task of the fork is to save the state of the framework under the GPL v3 license, in which you can use the missing widgets under the GPL v3 license.
