Licensing confusion

[JohnSin]

Hello,

Firstly, I'm really glad that found this awesome library for animating.

 

I'm currently working at local startup and I just wonder that is it free to use for commercial use?

I just want to use gsap to animate things on the landing page and our product page which is member ship based doesn't use any animation at all.

Thanks in advnace.

Great question, @JohnSin! Welcome to the forums...and GSAP. 

 

Basically, if your GSAP-enhanced site/product generates a fee from multiple users (including micro-transactions, subscription fees, etc.), it requires the commercial license which comes with Business Green Club GreenSock memberships. It sounds like your usage would likely require that, yes. 

 

I think you’ll find that the membership pays for itself literally in one project when you consider all the time it’ll save, the added capabilities and performance you get...and of course that sense of having animation superpowers is priceless 🙂

 

The only other reasons to sign up for Club GreenSock are to 1) get the bonus members-only plugins, or 2) to support our ongoing development efforts. But please don’t feel any pressure. We’re passionate about having happy customers around here, and we never want someone’s money if they don’t feel like they’re getting incredible value.

Enjoy the tools!
