JQuery Plugin Website

Question

Is there a website that lists all of the publicly available JQuery plugins?

Also, are these plugins usually open source or do some people charge you money to download them?

Answer 1

A list of plug-ins is available at http://plugins.jquery.com/

Answer 2

JQuery plugins are uncompilable since they are standard .js javascript files. I've never seen any publicly available JQuery plugin that cost money. I suppose its possible, but distribution would either be done on good faith in the customer, or to heavily obfuscate the source code.

Answer 4

Most jQuery plugins are open source with liberal licenses, like jQuery itself.
