Chris, I think you're right! It does mean that you or your company would have to pay to use jpgraph... jpgraph is not clean QPL (Qt Public License), but "QPL with additional restrictions" -- most importantly, it restricts who may use the software. DFSG, FSF free software guidelines and the Open Source Definition specifically says that no discrimination may be put into a license, therefore jpgraph will be removed from SENTINIX. jpgraph is used by ACID (snortcenter's alert console) to generate some fancy diagrams. I very seldom use it, you don't get that much out of the diagrams anyway. See homepage for license info, etc.: http://www.aditus.nu/jpgraph/ Comments? Michel
