Bug Description
As discussed at 4th Developer Meeting - pChart may be a suitable framework for rendering graphs in Mahara, e.g. in the admin section.
Available at http://
Documentation (with examples) at http://
pChart is a PHP framework that will help you to create anti-aliased charts or pictures directly from your web server. You can then display the result in the client browser, sent it by mail or insert it into PDFs.
pChart is released under two licensing models. If your application is freely distributed and meet the GPL requirements, you can use pChart for free under the the GNU GPLv3 license.

While reviewing the license for this library, I found this page:
http:// www.pchart. net/license
which claims that it is under the GPLv3 but then adds a contradictory statement that say that it's not for commercial use unless you get a separate license.
Therefore it is not Open Source and we cannot use it in Mahara.
