Hi Fam
This is to clarify our stand and what happens next with ApexChart that comes with SithasoDaisy5. Earlier on I had indicated that their licensing terms have changed.
Below is an email from ApexCharts (Infragistics)
Hi Anele,
Thank you for reaching out.
Based on the use case you described, your component appears to be a developer-facing component/library built on ApexCharts and intended for use by other developers. This falls under redistribution.
Redistribution of ApexCharts is not permitted under the Community or standard Commercial Developer License, even if the component itself is free or open source. For this type of use case, an OEM / Redistribution License is required.
The OEM / Redistribution License applies when ApexCharts is embedded into a product, SDK, platform, tool, component library, no-code tool, dashboard builder, or similar offering where third-party developers, customers, or end users can interact with, configure, or benefit from the charting functionality.
Please note that referencing ApexCharts through CDN header tags does not avoid the redistribution requirement if the component is designed to provide ApexCharts-based functionality to other developers.
For this use case, the appropriate licensing would be:
https://apexcharts.com/license/oem/
Pricing is available here:
https://apexcharts.com/pricing/
The current OEM / Embedded license is listed at USD $14,999 per year, and Commercial Developer Licenses are priced per developer per year.
If you would like to proceed with this use case, please let us know and we can guide you through the OEM licensing process.
Kind regards,
ApexCharts Team

Subject: Request Clarity about ApexCharts Licensing
So What's Next?
SithasoDaisy5 is an open source and thus including ApexCharts on it falls into re-distribution which makes this exercise an expensive one. Thus the ApexChart b4x component will be removed from SithasoDaisy5 and everything else. There is also an existing charting library in SD5 as ApexCharts was added to enhance what is possible.
The component code itself will be available (herein attached) and developers can get their licenses should then wish to use it. It will be removed in the next version of SD5.
Kind Regards
Mashiane
