I looked into turn.js and the licensing is beyond my understanding:
The turn.js project is released under the BSD license and it's available on GitHub. This license doesn't include features of the 4th release.
The part about 4th release seemingly links to a pdf but redirects to the same page.
Going to github I find the following:
https://github.com/blasten/turn.js/blob/master/license.txt
"""

Not exactly BSD as far as I see (is there a non-commercial BSD license subtype?)
Furthermore I'm not the only one to wonder:
https://github.com/blasten/turn.js/issues/491: Commercial licence turn.js
And in the comments on that issue: "I'm waiting for about 2 years now for an announced / promised update. "
Edit: added line breaks
