Woo hoo! The jpgraph people don't seem to care that we have it in our
publicly-available repository.

Subject: Re: JpGraph Comment [Other]: Redistributing jpgraph
Hi,
Thanks for your mail. I dont think this is a big problem. You are
keeping
withing the spirit of the license.
The clause in the license is only to stop people re-selling the free-
version
library (which has actually happened 2 time !!)
Good luck with your project!

Greetings. A while ago, I contacted you about using jpgraph in the
open
source project Open MPI (www.open-mpi.org). You told us that this
was
fine, even though several commercial entities are involved in the
Open MPI
project.
Since then, we\'ve been using jpgraph and it\'s been great (see
www.open-mpi.org/mtt/). However, I think we made a mistake; we just
realized this last week but were on travel and could not notify you
before
this morning: we have jpgraph in our Subversion repository which is
available for public/read-only access. This, quite accidentally,
implies
that we are distributing jpgraph. We certainly did not intend to,
nor do
we intend to include jpgraph in tarballs that we distribute (we just
noticed this problem because we\'re just now making distribution
tarballs
of our testing/graphing package -- a sub-project of Open MPI).
Our question to you: is it ok for jpgraph to be in our Subversion
repository, or would you prefer that we remove it from our Subversion
repository? Additionally, if you require us to remove it, is it
acceptable
that jpgraph is available in our Subversion history, or do you need
us to
scrub the history so that it is not available at all from our
repository?
The \"scrubbing\" procedure is actually fairly painful, but it
could be
done if you need it.
Please let us know; many thanks.
