Best open-source javascript tree?

Question

Could you propose open source, but commercial-friendly licensed (non-GPL) Javascript trees?

Please take into account that I need it for an existing Web application, so I am not sure whether other tools such as GWT or Echo would be appropriate.

I have already checked:

Dojo Tree
jQuery.Dynatree.js (JQuery)
JSTree (JQuery)
Mif.Tree (Mootools)
YUI Tree (Yahoo User Interface)

I have ruled out DHTMLX and ExtJS (both GPL, they require the whole project to be GPLed).

Thanks in advance for your suggestions!

UPDATE: This question is old, the above list should no longer be taken into account. I'm sure there are more and better alternatives now.

Hi and sorry for the delay. Among the above trees we chose JSTree, but at the end we used JSF and the component library Richfaces, which also includes a tree. — Markos Fragkakis, Aug 13 '10 at 18:31
Would be nice to hear what you found wrong with the ones you listed :-) (Before I have to make the same mistakes you did..) I also found this unordered list: [jQuery Plugin Registry tagged "tree"](http://plugins.jquery.com/tag/tree/) — Peter V. Mørch, Oct 15 '14 at 17:40
Consider visiting my own Tree Class. https://www.npmjs.com/package/@dsinjs/binary-tree help/sugguestions will be appreciated.:) — Siddhesh Kulkarni, Nov 29 '20 at 19:20

jsTree seems best.

Open source: MIT license
Features: lazy loading, context-menu, keyboard navigation, drag & drop, inline editing, customizable, CDN hosted.
Stackoverflow has 2,045 questions tagged with jsTree
Alexa page rank of jstree.com is better than others

Other close contenders:

zTree
