Is it possible to use AngularJS as a plugin?
AngularJS fits the definition of a framework the best, even though it’s much more lightweight than a typical framework and that’s why many confuse it with a library. AngularJS is 100% JavaScript, 100% client-side and compatible with both desktop and mobile browsers. So it’s definitely not a plugin or some other native browser extension.
How is AngularJS compatible with other security measures?
AngularJS was designed to be compatible with other security measures like Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTPS (SSL/TLS) and server-side authentication and authorization that greatly reduce the possible attack vectors and we highly recommend their use.
How to inject a controller in AngularJS?
Because controllers are not available on the global scope, we need to use angular.mock.injectto inject our controller first. The first step is to use the modulefunction, which is provided by angular-mocks. This loads in the module it’s given, so it is available in your tests.
Why do I need Source code for AGPLv3?
The objective was to close a perceived loophole in the ordinary GPL in environments where users make use of functionality provided as a web service, but no distribution of the code providing the functionality occurs.
Can a company run a modified version of the GPL?

Is the GPL code in a derivative work public?

Is it legal to use GPL code in a proprietary, closed?
An “original work” that uses code from another source is in fact a derivative work of both the original work and the other source, and it is the derivative work that is required to be licensed under the GPL. The original work remains under whatever licence it had before.
Is it better to use the GNU GPL or the GPL?
Using the GNU GPL will require that all the released improved versions be free software. This means you can avoid the risk of having to compete with a proprietary modified version of your own work. However, in some special situations it can be better to use a more permissive license.

How is GPL code incorporated into second program?
In such cases, the GPL code is clearly incorporated into the second program, and the second program must be distributed under the GPL to comply with its use of the GPL-licensed source code. A library may also be incorporated into a second program by way of linking [3] a compiled version of it to the second program. Linking can be static or dynamic:
Can a module be released under the GPL?
The GPL says that the whole combined program has to be released under the GPL. So your module has to be available for use under the GPL. But you can give additional permission for the use of your code. You can, if you wish, release your module under a license which is more lax than the GPL but compatible with the GPL.
Can a modified version of the GPL be distributed?
No. The GPL says that your modified versions must carry all the freedoms stated in the GPL. Thus, anyone who receives a copy of your version from you has the right to redistribute copies (modified or not) of that version. You may not distribute any version of the work on a more restrictive basis.
