Claude reckons we are allowed to ship gnuplot in our MacOS bundle if we don't link to gnuplot (we don't plan to), don't modify its source (which os what their license kind of forbids) and somewhere attribute it's license: <https://claude.ai/share/add21c7a-7952-49fc-a761-19bb59db460e> Will have to read their license to verify that claim and I am no lawyer. But that, if true, would be good news for a good idea. Kind regards, Gunter.
