Just left a comment on the jira to take a look at OpenLayers: http://openlayers.org/ (bsd licensed)
HighMaps/Chart wouldn’t be suitable unless people are willing to plunk down for license, or NFlabs is interested in dropping some quoted price for unlimited OEM license. Would stay away from google, and any other commercial API providers, as terms of service can be limiting, and even though chunk of users wont hit query/call limits per month, nice to not be locked into it. -----Original Message----- From: madhuka udantha [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, July 7, 2015 9:37 PM To: Damien Corneau; Damien Corneau Cc: [email protected]; Alex B; Ilya Malyanov Subject: Re: [GSOC] Map Visualization for Zeppelin Yes, I check for the licenses for them. What is the most preferred one? *High Chart* - If it is used for personal or non-profit project then it is for free under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 3.0 License. - OEM Licenses[1] allows you to distribute Highcharts (Company need to contact HighChart) *Google Chart* - Google controls API, code samples are in Apache 2.0 - It is free to use the same chart tools Google uses, completely free and with three years' backward compatibility guaranteed. - (Some of the software required by or included in our APIs may be offered under an open source license. Open source software licenses constitute separate written agreements[3].) - As we are going to used google API, we consent to be bound terms[2] (Google APIs Terms of Service[3] ("API ToS") ) [1] http://shop.highsoft.com/highcharts.html [2] https://developers.google.com/chart/terms [3] https://developers.google.com/terms/ On Wed, Jul 8, 2015 at 8:53 AM, Damien Corneau <[email protected]> wrote: > I like geochart, lot of options. > Highmaps looks good too. > > Did you check about licenses and how we could include them in the project? > > On Wed, Jul 8, 2015 at 11:52 AM, madhuka udantha > <[email protected] > > wrote: > >> I am working on adding map visualization [1] for Zeppelin.
