My biggest issue with using something like this would be the lack 
of Linux support, and the lack of source code available. From 
what I understand, your wrapper originally didn't have source 
code available, but now does? Personally, I'm not too concerned 
about Awesomium itself charging for the source code, but I would 
consider including any third party library that you don't have 
the source code for and isn't *very* well known in your code that 
you don't have the source for to be irresponsible.

As for the Linux support, as far as I understand RC3 is expected 
have Linux support, and Awesomium itself does support Linux. 
Games like Heroes of Newerth and Overgrowth use it, and both of 
those support Linux. It seems like RC1 supported only Windows, 
RC2 Mac + Windows, and RC3 all three?

I hadn't heard of Awesomium before your post, and it actually 
seems quite interesting. I was originally intending to make my 
own OpenGL UI library when I reached the point where my programs 
/ game needed an actual UI, but something like this seems like it 
would be really nice. That being said, that's still a long ways 
away, so this is mostly future thoughts.
