Eh, for reference, this is the copyright that was in the package I
rejected:
| Copyright:
|
| JpGraph is released under a dual license. QPL 1.0 (Qt Free Licensee)
| for non-commercial, open-source and educational use and JpGraph
| Professional License for commercial non-opensource use.
|
| Basically it means that if you or your company develops non open
| source software and have financial gains, either directly or
| indirectly (for example by improving a business process), by using
| JpGraph this counts as commercial use.

| The Professional JpGraph License 1.2 can be found at
