This seems like a non-starter to me:

  The Fabric Engine core and language bindings are made
  available as open source under the AGPL v3 license, with
  commercial licensing options available on request and
  paid-for support options for developers. Version 1.0 is
  available to download from the company's site.

Personally, I'd say "screw it", and use V8.

AGPL is a bit bothersome. I'd rather be able to release my code under a non-viral license.

we offer commercial licensing that allows devs to bypass the AGPL requirements. I'll update the site info soon to show the subscription pricing options.

you can use it on the server with nodejs - it's like a c extension, but I guess it's supposed to be easier than writing a c extension

Yes, this is correct - it's targeted at people who are comfortable using dynamic languages like JS/Python
