    Yeah, I find the license on V UI to be a bit weird. Not understanding the logic behind it, as GPL is a definite way to cause massive headaches, drama, and confusion. GPL can give an unfriendly impression to those they probably could use help or support from.

    It's still the early stages of the library and the language, so maybe it won't turn into some kind of mess. Still, not seeing why they didn't at least go LGPL, like many other projects have done who went. Seems like LGPL would have been the right balance to prevent sending mixed or "warning" signals.

    There is also VIUP (https://github.com/kjlaw89/viup), which is a port of IUP. That's under the expected MIT license. So, it's not like more adventurous types can't go play with that.
