Hey I'm a developer of incubator-weex Weex used to use JavaScriptCore's source code directly to execute JavaScript like this way .
JSValue returnValue = evaluate(globalObject->globalExec(), makeSource(source, sourceOrigin, url), JSValue(), evaluationException); in this case, globalObject is inner object of JavaScriptCore, And makeSource is inline api of JavaScriptCore. So Weex has to add all JavaScriptCore's source code to weex' s repo to make it work normally. There is an function call chain like Weex.apiA->Webkit.BSD.apiB->Webkit.BSD.apiC->Webkit.LGPL.apiD is true at that time. But now, Weex has refactoring the way we use JavaScriptCore. Weex just use JavaScriptCore public api. And All JavaScriptCore source code has been removed from weex's repo. We just include JavaScriptCore's publish api only. So this function chain Weex.apiA->Webkit.BSD.apiB->Webkit.BSD.apiC->Webkit.LGPL.apiD is not existed now. Now Function chain is Weex.apiA -> JavaScriptCore.BSD.apiB -> JavaScriptCore.so So there is no webkit license and Webkit *.h in weex's repo now you can checkout the source code from here https://weex.apache.org/download/download.html#_0-26-0 <https://weex.apache.org/download/download.html#_0-26-0> javaScriptCore's api directory is weex_core/Source/include/JavaScriptCore/API Weex's logic that use JavaScriptCore's api is here weex_core/Source/js_runtime FYI, JavaScriptCore itself is under dual License too, at least Weex include files under BSD License from JavaScriptCore > 在 2019年7月16日，下午6:48，Myrle Krantz <[email protected]> 写道： > > Hey all, > > First of all: congratulations on your recent release! > > I wanted to circle back to this to make sure it gets resolved before the > next release. > > First a summary of what has happened as I see it.
