Beucase an evil boss take down this one, so we must love it.
http://www.oesmith.co.uk/morris.js/ is better anyway
Getting started
Add morris.js and its dependencies (jQuery & Raphaël) to your page.

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.
(I have no idea what happened in this specific case).
Usually, when someone does something mildly serious (we are just wrist-slappy about the minor stuff, unless you do it multiple times, or intentionally) without following the process, first I verify they actually did it without any accusation at all. This often takes the form "It looks like you did X. Is this right or am I misunderstanding?".
If they did in fact, do it, I then say "Hey, just so you know, this could be an issue. I need to talk with some folks, and then we should talk and figure out together what to do about this. You need to do anything in the meanwhile" . Whether they need to do anything depends on the issue, but I am explicit about whether anything needs to be done.
At this point, the reactions vary from "oh shit, sorry, i didn't realize i was supposed to something different" to "fuck the police".
In any case, despite me explicitly telling them they did not need to do anything, there are still cases where someone will do something like take the project down (sometimes intentionally believing it will force my hand, sometimes not), and claim we told them to.
I go and talk with various folks like I said I would, then the person involved, we all decide we don't care (or do), and then it gets put back (or not), or whatever modifications needed are made. Usually if it's put back, this is accompanied by text like you see, stating that they misunderstood some issues. In most cases i've dealt with, this is actually an accurate statement of what occurred, and not us trying to save face. After all, I told them they did not need to do anything!
Of course, I won't deny there are times i've told folks to hide/take down projects. But in those cases, we don't later try to save face. I could completely see other companies not knowing what they are doing, and telling folks to take stuff down as a knee jerk. It definitely happens. But without more facts here, I wouldn't jump to the conclusion that this is what occurred.

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?
Could be either a genuine case of the author hearing one thing and the company meaning another, or a change of mind by the company, possibly involving higher ups.

At a glance I think it beats those by being better looking, open source, simple data structure, simple setup. This seems to me to be the quickest way to get a beautiful and interactive line chart onto your webpage.

Not interactive though.
