The Jenkins project buying a license (which it wouldn't need to anyway) to
use it would only entitle that org to use it. It would not cover commercial
entities that use Jenkins (and install this plugin).

IMO, using Highcharts is a bad idea because:

   1. It will limit the adoption of this plugin, which is a real pity imo
   as it looks to be really useful to a lot of people. Many commercial
   entities will not want the bother of managing yet another license.
   2. In order to be fair to end users, I think the plugin needs to do
   something that would force users to acknowledge that they are using
   software for which they require a license e.g. a first time popup that the
   need to "Accept" before using. That's kind suckie imo.

Is there a reason why something like Google Charts could not be used here
(or some other OSS lib)? Is Highcharts really so much better?
