jQuery Sortable Table plugin for Rails 3 Recommendation

Question

Inside a Rails 3 app, what jQuery plugin for sortable tables / grids would you recommend that satisfies these conditions:

• integrates well with Rails 3
• sort columns
• resize columns
• filter columns
• show/hide columns
• allows for pagination
• has a non viral licence: BSD, MIT are OK; (L)GPL is not
• is still under active development

I've been looking over the jQuery Grid Recommendations, and also this article about 15 Great jQuery Plugins For Better Table Manipulation but there are many alternatives, and some even outdated.

I paid closer attention to DataTables, even tablesorter, as good candidates, but how is the dual licensing working? If it says

Dual licensed under A or B licenses.

can I choose to respect only one of the 2 licences (the more permissive one)?

Answer 1

I can't speak for any other projects, but certainly with DataTables the software is published under GPLv2 OR a BSD 3 point license. You can pick which one you wish to use the software under (or both if you wanted, although that might be a little odd :-) ).
