Looks promising! Might be an interesting additional editor candidate in Create (http://createjs.org/). Though, Create is MIT and the wysihtml5 library used by this is GPL, so the licenses are not compatible.

Currently we use Hallo (http://bergie.github.com/hallo/) by default, and Aloha Editor (http://aloha-editor.org/) with bundled integration.

Opened a ticket at wysihtml5 to reconsider their licensing: https://github.com/xing/wysihtml5/issues/22

It's now been updated to MIT (https://github.com/xing/wysihtml5/commit/444bda34c16354ed05c...) as has bootstrap-wysihtml5's

Actually, the X11 License (sometimes called the "MIT License", but MIT has used many licenses) is GPL-compatible: http://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html#X11License

Create (http://createjs.org/) is no where near the quality of Mercury Editor, (http://jejacks0n.github.com/mercury/) me thinks.

Create is the CMS UI shell around a WYSIWYG editor (well, potentially around other widgets you need like datepickers and choosers as well). We could use Mercury quite easily as another editor option.

Create's editor options are provided as jQuery UI wrapper widgets, for example: https://github.com/bergie/create/blob/master/src/editingWidg...

BTW, check out http://blog.liip.ch/archive/2012/03/20/cmf-editor-overview-s... and http://iks.alkacon.com/en/ if you want to see a bit more comprehensive Create UI setups.

Aloha is AGPL though, it seems they do license exceptions for BSD projects, is that what you have?

Yep, we have an exception from them. But still, we only ship an integration plugin and Aloha Editor has to be installed separately. This way the whole Create repo is MIT-only.
