I am super glad he has released this. He is not joking about compiling javascript core for iOS being painful, I dumped many hours into it. It would have been nice of him to release the project files just for jsc under MIT or something, but I guess people have to make money somehow.

Since JavaScriptCore is LGPL, you could probably demand them from him after buying some app that uses this.

"For a library, complete source code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation and installation of the library."

So we could demand the project files to build it for iOS directly from Apple then? :)

Anyway, I will tidy up and release the project files and patches for JSC in a couple of days. My selling point is the game engine and the OpenGL Canvas abstraction, not JSC.

helpful, thanks.

Yes?

It's from iOS 4.2 (http://opensource.apple.com/release/ios-42/), as JSC's source in iOS 4.3 is marked as "coming soon" (http://opensource.apple.com/release/ios-43/).
