On the face of it a very nice editor - good work.

some confusion on licenses - MIT is available but with a caveat and I don't think you can do that.

There's no caveat. It says "Redactor распространяется бесплатно по лицензии MIT или GPL, на ваш выбор." which literally means "Redactor is distributed freely under the MIT or GPL licenses - it's your choice."

Edit: This goes to the lack of English docs, not to your misunderstanding I'm sure.

In the source of the script itself, it has:

    Dual licensed under the MIT or GPL Version 2 licenses.

...which is how jQuery is licensed, as is common for plugins and other jQuery-based projects.

Interesting - the text with regard to the licensing changed between my first and subsequent visit - now clearly licensed as you say.

Looking at this again 3 days later, it seems the license has been changed again. The license is now the "Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 3.0 license.", and they're charging for commercial use.
