HugeRTE

The 100% free fork of the world's #1 open source rich text editor.

Used and trusted by millions of developers, TinyMCE (the original project we've forked) is the world’s most customizable, scalable, and flexible rich text editor. However, they changed the license of TinyMCE 7 to GPLv2+ (or a commercial license) while it has been MIT for TinyMCE 6 and LGPL for older versions. This creates problems for users (see the discussion) so a fork has been created here. It has originally been named HugeMCE, however, due to potential trademark confusion with TinyMCE, it has been renamed to HugeRTE before its publishment to npm.
