All the GPL says, at it's basic core, is that if you incorporate the source code of the software into your source code, you must provide a means for others to get a copy of that extended source code, and they must adhere by the GPL license as well. In other words, if you GPL license your code, and someone else uses it, they need to "pass it on" - in other words, their payment to you (and the community) for using your…

If you 'incorporate' a piece of GPL code into your program, you're either dynamically or statically linking to it - which the FSF considers to be make your work 'derivative' and thus you would be required to license your own work under the GPL, regardless of whether you had made any changes to the original GPL code you make use of or not.

How does this compare to something like Grafana? https://github.com/grafana/grafana

It uses "flot", a JavaScript library that hasn't seen a commit in Github in 2 and a half years. The documentation is poor. There is definitely a need for dashboard software that allows for more complex custom visualizations -- I…

I would like to share some thoughts on this based on experience of being a crusty old enterprise developer. The dashboard problem keeps coming back. I think the time might be finally coming for some dashboard framework to actually succeed. A dashboard framework has been tried many many times. Here are some old ones just on the top of my head: * Shindig aka OpenSocial aka Google Gadgets * J2EE portlets * OpenUSS I'm n…

How do you deal with Grafana having no isolation? Do you deploy a new instance per client? Each user has full access to all datasources from what I've seen.

There seems to be a plethora of these open source dashboard builder systems. I just want to pay for a hosted version that isn't going to be $1k monthly and require me to build "plugins" to do something that is akin to an API call.

>I just want to pay for a hosted version that isn't going to be $1k monthly and require me to build "plugins" to do something that is akin to an API call. Sorry for a shameless plug, but you might check something that I built and launched today [1] as I felt exactly the same pain point. [1] https://monique.io
