Nobody prevents you from using the old GPL'ed versions even in your commercial projects if you feel the 85,-- EUR per license aren't worth enough (I feel it is worth enough since IMHO it's one of the best (the other one is Vagrant) and biggest graph packages PHP has) To get the problem to a more general discussion point: do you wish to integrate packages that stand under a full or half-commerical license or not? If the answer is "yes", then I don't see any problems with packages like JPGraph. Pointed that out for the future: where can one find commercial packages/components that have a *high quality*? I would like to have the answer "High quality packages? Free and commercial ones? Take a look at PEAR". IMHO this also helps PEAR (and PHP) to prevail itself in the commercial world (perhaps a bit as an analogy to EJBs). 0,02 EUR, Björn.
