Default How ethical to use Javascript libraries that are available on the net?

I want to do something with JavaScript on my website but don't know how to implement it, but i've found it has already been written by someone and is available to download free as they've put it on net.

So is it right morally to use something that someone has already been written? does this count as cheating? does it infringe any copyright?

Default hai

I have used jquery libraries after making sure that the libraries are covered under the GPL license. Most, if not all jquery libraries are under such libraries.

Please read the license before you use it on your site. In most cases, you have to include the lib in your distribution. I go a head and do that anyway.

Take a look at What is Copyright Protection? it will help a lot.
