I almost feel like you accidentally typed "Dojo" every time you meant
to type "YUI." YUI is attempting to be an OS platform, not an ajax
library or a library of widgets. I strongly suggest you take another
look at YUI, because it sounds to be exactly what you're looking for.
Oh, and it's BSD license, by the way.
