This may be what their intention is, but it is not what their license terms actually state. This is a common incorrect interpretation that open source use is not a commercial use. Especially under US law (and most jurisdictions that come to mind), it very much is a commercial activity, even if no money is involved (but money could be involved too). CC-BY-NC is a no-go. If they are okay with open source projects using their charts, then they should state that (by licensing under a standard open source use license like CC-BY or even GPL). > On May 26, 2014, at 1:50 PM, H.S.Rai wrote: > > So, in this (licensing issue) regard I request Sean to give direction. There are many suitable charting and graphing options for web sites. I think we should use one that has terms that are unambiguously supportive of open source (by being licensed as open source themselves). What Piyush mentioned, Jit, looks perfectly sufficient and featured (and is MIT-licensed). Even Google Charts API would be fine. There are a bunch of others (skip the non-free ones) listed on these: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9171746/javascript-chart-api http://stackoverflow.com/questions/119969/javascript-chart-library?rq=1 Cheers!
