In the bottom of their license file they have a MIT license[0]. But they only mention someone named Evan You > Hippy-Vue and Hippy-Vue-Router is using the part of codes write by Evan You with MIT license.<MIT license> My best guess is that Evan is this person [1][2]. So that still doesn't seem to fit the proper MIT license agreements if you're right, and it looks like you are.

I opened a random file(HippyBridge.h[0]) and it looks very similar to React Native's RCTBridge.h[1] which leads me to believe Hippy is either a fork of React Native or heavily "inspired" by it. A lot of the comments and symbols match React Native's 1-to-1. EDIT: I've read through more of the source and compared it to React Native. Like Jarred mentioned[2] it probably started out as a fork of React Native. 0: https://github.com/Tencent/Hippy/blob/master/ios/sdk/base/Hi... 1: https://github.com/facebook/react-native/blob/master/React/B... 2: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21877857

I dug around a little and installed their demo app in the iOS simulator: https://www.dropbox.com/s/hl3nk8jrcjleurj/hippy.mov?dl=0. Visually, the only interesting part of the demo app is the RefreshWrapper example Code-wise, the most interesting things I've seen: - They expose wrappers for native recycling list views[0]. React Native does this in JavaScript through VirtualizedList, however some have experienced performance issues with it[1] - They wrote their own flexbox layout library[2] (likely based on Yoga) - It works with both Vue[3] and React - Hippy supports web as a build target out of the box[4] (react-native-web is a 3rd party library) - Touch events work on the `<View />` component directly, instead of needing to wrap `<View />`'s in the `<Touchable />` components[5] - It uses a closed-source fork of libv8 on Android called X5[6
