React Javascript Framework not open source and losses out to AngularJS

React is out, AngularJS just got a huge bump. React is no longer truly "open source".

Facebook is pushing a licensing model called “BSD + patents” in all their projects, including the wildly popular React Javascript framework. 

“BSD + patents” essentially means that the code is open (for everyone to see and use), but it’s always copyrighted by Facebook. And they grant you a patent license as long as you’re nice to them by never suing Facebook for patent infringement.

The instant you sue Facebook, your patent rights for React — and any other Facebook ‘open source’ technology you happen to use) — are automatically revoked.

How to put AI in your web page with Deeplearn.js

Now you can easily implement a a client-side Machine Language library can be a platform for interactive explanations, for rapid prototyping and visualization, and even for offline computation. By simply adding a Javascript library into you page you can unleash the power of AI, for some great apps.

deeplearn.js offers a significant speedup by exploiting WebGL to perform computations on the GPU, along with the ability to do full backpropagation.


deeplearn.js 0.1.0, an open source WebGL-accelerated JavaScript library for machine learning that runs entirely in your browser, with no installations and no back-end.
