It's news to me that we used anything that isn't free to use \0/


I do know some of the cooler PrimeNG stuff requires a paid for license, 
like Prime Blocks, but we don't use any of that stuff. We couldn't even 
if we wanted to since the license prevents you using any of it in an 
open source project. I'm not aware of adding any modules other than 
Angular,  PrimeNG and ngx-translate plus what ever dependencies they 
require?
