for anybody that was concerned about the licensing - i have added the official verbiage to make sure the code is licensed under a BSD-style license. you can download the updated js files (with license text) from here

Best,

the license is BSD-style: essentially, you can do whatever you would like the with code or source. this is my first time releasing a publicly-available library like this and since it is version 0.1, i didnt even think about the licensing aspect. the whole purpose of the the library is to hopefully make it easier for people to build offline applications in any way they see fit, not worry about restrictive licensing issues.

hope that helps – i will update the code with a proper statement as well.

It’s great to see that this functionality is now available for reuse in other ajax frameworks. I couldn’t find a license though: if it has the same licenses as Dojo, it should be easy for other libraries to integrate this functionality. That makes it even easier for developers to use it.
