- kristopolous 6y agoIt's a shameless and transparent marketing play. People will click on a GitHub link. This is manufactured hn clickbait. I've never flagged before but this one deserves it I wish them well and the technology may be great, but trying to play hn like that is not welcome.
- productionx 6y agoNoticed first comment, reviewed scope of project to place this being nearly identical to other project of which have availability to commercial use by default. Confirmed clickbait.
- adamjs 6y agoLead dev of UL here, we didn't post the link, and our GitHub repo is def not clickbait (the top-level repo is just the packager and samples), 90% of our code is open-source under LGPL and available on GitHub [1], [2]. The product as a whole is under a proprietary, non-free license with provisions for usage in free software [3]. * [1] https://github.com/ultralight-ux/WebCore https://github.com/ultralight-ux/WebCore * [2] https://github.com/ultralight-ux/AppCore https://github.com/ultralight-ux/AppCore * [3] https://ultralig.ht https://ultralig.ht
- michannne 6y agoThanks for the clarification!
- adamjs 6y agoSomebody just posted our top-level packager GitHub repo to HN instead of our website. (And hey thanks! I wrote that by hand a few months ago :))
