Include Highcharts in an Open Source Project

I would like to include the Highcharts library in an open source project, scala-notebook , and I'm not sure if this is allowed under the Highcharts license .

scala -notebook is a web-repl (read-eval-print-loop) or web console (similar to IPython ). You can create new laptops and write code there that will be executed on the server side, and the results will be displayed on the page (in the output section). I would like to give the user the ability to define chart data in code, and then it will be displayed as a chart using the Highcharts library. It is distributed under a modified BSD license (also known as new or revised BSD) .

So my questions are:

  • Can I add a Highcharts library to a project distribution?
  • If so, what should I include in order to correctly refer to Highcharts licensing information in my project (for example, can I add it to the help section on the page and / or add the license to the root of the project file tree, etc.)?

My project is open source, so I can imagine that someone would download and deploy it inside their company. I also want to make sure that this use case is allowed (according to the license).

IF you are not using it commercially, THEN you can use it in accordance with CC BY-NC.

As far as I can tell, you should be allowed (since it has no generality) to redistribute any license; if it is morally justified, this is another question.
