You appear to have some pretty contradictory licensing going on here.

The code base is licensed under MIT, but the documentation claims the need for a commercial license.

I realise this is probably intended as an upgrade thing (I mean, the MIT license is pretty clear), but perhaps some clearer language on why someone would choose to use the commercial version , what the added features are etc, would be useful?

The MIT license applies to the code in this package only. To actually run this code you also need the dependencies, which are separate packages each under its own license. So when you include the dependencies in your app, you should comply with the licensing terms of all of them.

The @activewidgets/svelte package (this repo) has two dependencies - @activewidgets/datagrid and @activewidgets/frameworks which are both distributed under the commercial license. This is why the commercial license is needed.

Bait and switch. Disapointing.

Sorry that you feel this way. All docs start with the message that this is a commercial product and requires a commercial license. I was hoping that this is clear enough -

Again, sorry for the confusion - I see that in the readme file this message is not included, will fix this.
