Objections
License is evaluation-only and not free for use in own products like MIT
From 1 comment
Sort of a bum out wrt to the license. If I read it right it is free only for evaluation but not for use in your own product ala MIT? What is the pricing model then?

Looks very similar to MxGraph (http://www.jgraph.com/mxgraph.html). Would be interesting in seeing a list of what features it provides that MxGraph doesn't.
