The original version of Photoswipe was a great image viewer, but unfortunately was not well maintained. This new version that the developer has taken over really leapfrogs over other viewers.
The key is will it be maintained and be able to keep up with a fast changing mobile landscape? Or should I continue using the current paid solution I'm using today (Foobox). While Foobox is not up to par to this solution, it will be interesting to see where Photoswipe is 6 to 12 months down the road. For me, having a well maintained solution is worth the $30

The >300 open issues and what seems like tons of ignored pull-requests also don't fill me with confidence. To bad, the demo on mobile looked really great.
The license is MIT, you don't need to add anything else.

Old version of PhotoSwipe was not developed me and I did not manage repository. Previous owners just passed development to me a few months ago https://twitter.com/PhotoSwipe/status/444134042787930113 and I started working on a new version.
I can assure you that all new issues and pull-requests will be managed appropriately.
