nvd3

Hi, Thanks, that's my fork, it's was released under Apache 2.0. https://github.com/RobertLowe/nvd3/blob/master/LICENSE.md * 2. Grant of Copyright License. * Subject to the terms and conditions of this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable copyright license to reproduce, prepare Derivative Works of, publicly display, publicly perform, sublicense, and distribute the Work and such Derivative Works in Source or Object form. Irrevocable copyright, I love it. It will stay open source and hosted there. Bob should not be all to blame. Novus is clearly handling this poorly. EDIT: I'll accept pull requests, and if anyone had issues, please repost them.

It's a strange case to begin with: The readme of the first public release says: nv.d3 - v0.0.1 A reusable chart library for d3 by Bob Monteverde of Novus Partners. The license later said that the copyright belonged to Novus, (not Montaverde), under the GPL v3. This means that they couldn't (nor could anyone) use the Free contributions in closed source products. Since Montaverde is responsible for ~95% of the code (https://github.com/RobertLowe/nvd3/graphs/contributors) and he sounds embarrassed by the ordeal, it looks like a dick move by someone above him at Novus.

For anyone looking my fork appears to be the lastest: https://github.com/RobertLowe/nvd3
