best marketing campaign? I guess I am not seeing what you're seeing. To what are you referring to?
Released -> Taken Down/Died -> Re-released.
That said, it's probably the internet attention to the takedown that has made it come back up so quickly.

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.
Or maybe "I misunderstood some issues" really means "I misunderstood some issues". Just saying...
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.
"Pie charts are great at comparing proportions within a single data set." No they're not.

The project mentions that this was an intentional design decision. The graph's are written to a canvas element, which means a low memory footprint and the ability to save graphs as images. I believe they'd need to switch over to using SVG elements for graphs if there are plans to add DOM events to chart elements.
Clicks and hovers can be done on canvas, using hack that renders on second (invisible) canvas each object with its own, constant color and then checking color of the pixel at coordinates of cursor. It would probably need some kind of scene abstraction though.

Yes they are.
Apart from this, I don't get the comments at the top! Is this what HN users think of open source projects which spring up from time to time! If a project is taken down due to IP rights and then comes back to life after a day, is that all a marketing campaign? Don't you think of it as an accomplishment for the community? And this is not the first time that HN users just go about destroying someone's project in a second. Shouldn't we help in giving the person a direction and helping him out.
