When I first adopted ntop, I contacted the author of GDChart about a possible licence-rewording. He had said that he'd do so in the next release, possibly BSD, but nothing had happened in a loong time. At http://www.fred.net/brv/chart/dev0101.htm there seems to be finally a new version that tries to rephrade the licence. Looks much better now but still doesn't solve the "distribution of modification" issue. The author said that it was OK to distribute modifications so it is still only a wording issue. > Permission has been granted to copy, distribute and modify GDChart in any > context without fee, including a commercial > application, provided that this notice is present in user-accessible > supporting documentation. maybe you could propose to him " Permission has been granted to copy, distribute and use GDChart in source and binary forms, with or without modification, in any context...."
