ExtCore is MIT Licensed and a candidate for JSArtifacts impl [1]. I started dabbling with an implementation of ExtCoreArtifacts sometime back, but didn't have enough bandwidth to carry it forward.
In case somebody is willing to run with this, there is a ticket for this already [2] Non ExtCore are GPLed and doesn't mix conveniently. Although there are some exceptions, I am not sure how practically that works license wise [3].
