Hi,
please consider qooxdoo, too. It's not looking so nice like extJS now. 
But it has a very clean well-tought object-oriented structure and code.
Furthermore it has a very good Event-Handler. It's also possible to 
"make" your final build to reduce the needed ressources.
With Version 0.8.0 it will also look a lot nicer I think/hope ;-) and 
there is still some time to version 1.0.0.
There is also a Eclipse Project RAP which uses this Framework as the 
presentation layer. Qooxdoo is also supported by the 1&1 Internet AG 
(United Internet).

The license is also LGPL I think.

Greetings
Christoph
