I'm trying to find some very specific Angular UI components that I can only find in PrimeNG.

I never used it before, it looks simple enough to implement, the only problem that I'm having is that I tried to read the MIT license and I got confused.

if I want to use the free version of PrimeNG on my commercial website, do I need to add PrimeNG to the thank you page? Currently I don't have a thank you page.. should I create one?

I'm trying to understand what I need to modify on my website to be able to use PrimeNG legally.

Any information regarding this issue would be greatly appreciated.

I am trying to understand with the MIT license, what do I exactly need to add to my commercial website (if anything) to legally use the free version of PrimeNG. I tried to read the MIT license agreement and it confused me.

In terms of what you must do, the relevant section of the MIT license is just this:

The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in all copies or substantial portions of the Software.

Your website contains a copy of the Angular component, so this applies to you. Therefore you must take the exact copyright notice and permission notice as supplied with the component and include that in your software. Typically, people will do this by having a "third-party licenses" page which includes all the licenses from open source software they are using, but this is not a strict requirement.

    Note, for the MIT license, such a page is not even required. To satisfy the MIT license, it would be sufficient to keep the copyright and license notice intact while minifying the javascript. Commented Jun 1, 2022 at 10:50
