If you are looking for a different library, there is the FingerprintJS library, which has an accuracy between 40% and 60%, but it is fully open source.
ClientJS itself has been built upon Valve/fingerprintjs, which then evolved into fingerprintjs/fingerprintjs.
ClientJS is not built on FingerprintJS, but you should def use FingerprintJS! It's professionally maintained, and does provide good accuracy for an open source, client side only product.
I apologize: I was "quoting" the project page, which says Built Upon: and shows three links, including https://web.archive.org/web/20200714191004/https://github.com/Valve/fingerprintjs.
I did not mean this library has code that comes from that library, but that the project page has links to other libraries, which I take it as meaning These are other libraries with a similar purpose. If I were to look to alternatives, I would check those three links.
Changes are not retroactive. The code in version4 is still readble, but not open source anymore! By version3 you will be stuck on an immobile creature!

https://github.com/fingerprintjs/fingerprintjs just change its license so it can't run in production anymore

3.x and lower versions are still licensed under MIT.

Yes, Branch 3.x is still licensed under MIT. I guess they will not back-port to branch 3.x the changes they introduce in branch 4.x, though.
