Just some further information about what @ddy199726 said. The relationship between weex and JavaScriptCore is similar to the relationship between any Java Project and JDK.
If one want to run a Java program, he/she must have a JDK/JRE to interpret Java byte code. If one want to run a Weex program, he/she must have a JavaScript interpretator to interpret JavaScript. Here we choose JavaScriptCore. Like any Java program must import some Java Class in the standard JDK/JRE, weex has to import the some API (.h file) in JavaScriptCore. All those API itself is under BSD License. @ddy199726 and I have doubled checked it. The only problem I see here is that JavaScriptCore is inside the binary of Weex, which should not happen anymore. We plan to decouple it from Weex then users must include weex_sdk and JavaScriptCore together in their product.
