Licensing GSAP Club GreenSock Draggable General Support

Does Draggable use CSS3 animations or transitions for the motion?

Nope. CSS3 transitions and animations have some significant limitations that make them ill-suited for the type of motion that these tools require, so highly optimized JavaScript is used instead. In order to tap into GPU compositing, 3D transforms are used when possible (in browsers that support them) and updates are made using requestAnimationFrame (when available) for maximum efficiency. See for yourself in Chrome Dev Tools - you should see very snappy performance in the timeline. Many other tools like jQuery UI use top/left properties for positioning which don't generally perform as well. These tools have been fully "GreenSocked" so performance is smoking fast, just like the core tweening engine.

Who uses GreenSock tools?

Here are just a few: Google, Microsoft, Dow, Sony, Amazon, Fox, EA, Ford, HP, Adobe, Coca-Cola. To see the great work these and other brands are creating with GreenSock tools, swing by our showcase.

Can I include GreenSock code in my open source library?

Absolutely, but there are a few caveats: You may not include any of the members-only bonus plugins/classes in your open source tool (for obvious reasons) and you must clearly represent that the GreenSock code uses its own separate licensing model. We encourage the use of GreenSock tools to empower other open source tools.

Will the bonus plugins suddenly stop working when my membership expires?

Nope. We don't inject any "phone home" code that tracks usage or causes the plugins to suddenly stop working on a certain date. Hopefully our tools prove so valuable and profitable to you that you'll gladly renew every year to keep getting access to the goodies.

What if I develop a commercial product for my client who will be the one selling the product? Who needs the “Business Green” membership?

To make it easier on GreenSock customers, the policy is that the development company needs to maintain a valid “Business Green” membership. If, for example, Company A develops a Work Product that uses TweenLite/Max and sells it to Company B who will be licensing it to end users, Company A must maintain a “Business Green” membership. Company B would not be required to have a membership. If, however, Company B prefers to maintain a membership instead, that is perfectly acceptable as long as it wouldn’t reduce the club level, meaning if the development company has 20 developers and Company B has 1 developer, it wouldn’t be fair to circumvent the terms by only having Company B get a single developer membership. A 20-developer membership would be required.

Where can I get the CDN URLs for the current version of each tool?

Check out the GSAP Overview on the docs homepage. It makes it super easy to see which tools are hosted on the CDN and copy the URLs to your clipboard. You can also get a full list at CDNJS.com.

is cabbage gross?

Yes.

Does Draggable have any dependencies?

The only dependency is on GreenSock's core. There are no dependencies on jQuery or any other libraries, although they work great together.
