Apparently, it was a misunderstanding on his part. "I misunderstood some issues I wrote about earlier today. Chart.js is now back online and available under MIT. http://www.chartjs.org ." - https://twitter.com/_nnnick/status/314049798502248448

Looks like maybe the employer agreed to let him release chart.js as long as he didn't make the employer look bad? Maybe "I misunderstood some issues" really means "I spoke with my employer and they've changed their minds but I'm going to be polite about it". Just an idea.

Either way, good on them for doing the right thing.

No labels/legend support for the pie charts? I haven't checked it out too closely but it seems like it would be good to have the percentage labels and what they represent out of the gate.

It didn't say anything about why it is so special?? There are tons of HTML5 client side charts already in existence such as jqplot, highchart, fusionchart..so please let me what makes it so special please.

Beucase an evil boss take down this one, so we must love it.

It's so awesome that it is a key competitive advantage for the author's company.

I really don't see how someone can misunderstand this. You either can do it or you can't.

I gather the author is UK based and working for a UK company. I imagine 'misunderstand' might be a polite way of saying 'we realised that our decision has caused a lot of negative publicity and we are changing our mind'. That is how it works in organisations I have worked for in the past. Or then again, the author could literally have mistaken what the manager said.

That seems less of a polite way of saying, and more like a butt-covering lie. Am I supposed to understand from 'misunderstand' that the company might be climbing down from a stupid mistake it made, or actually be misled?

Ok, is this the best marketing campaign for an open-source project or what?!? I starred it yesterday but my guess is you've got a lot more people on board now!

best marketing campaign? I guess I am not seeing what you're seeing. To what are you referring to?
