The site looks good, but a few prominent TLDR use cases and/or call-to-actions would be useful.

I already use Linux and am not sure how I would use this, and am too brain-tired at the end of a long day to dig into the site and figure it out.

I've never seen software with a 'Pick whichever license, as long as it's OSS' licensing before.

I'm not really sure what the implications are, but it could make things hairy if people are releasing modules or extensions to this that use various licenses.

SilkJS includes a lot of libraries that have different licenses. The idea is to allow anyone to download and use SilkJS and live up to those licenses as they see fit.

If you want to sell SilkJS, you have to pay Oracle a license fee because SilkJS uses libmysql.

Make sense?
