Hi, really nice front-end! May I dare to ask: What is the license of this code? Best regards viegelinsch

Hi,

its not clear yet for frontend as the design is mixed with the code. The code is apache commons, but for the design i need to clarify some things and are in the progress of splitting it. Should be clear within the next 2 weeks.

My organisation has experience with that kind of challenges. It would be a pleasure to help (auch auf Deutsch ;-) ).

Hi flyersa, I work with the same organisation as viegelinsch - as can be seen in our GitHub profiles - and would like to ask you for some new infos/suggestions on how to help you with the licensing problem.

First of all: I think you did a fantastic and long-overdue improvement to the munin monitoring system. And in making it Open-Source you are sharing that work with everyone. Thanks for that ;)

Because we are interested in using MuninMX we would like to help with working on the licensing issues, if possible. My guess is most of the licensing problems exist because of using Highcharts as the graphing library. If that is correct, would it be helpful to provide patches for the use of another graphing library? If so, do you have any other particular library in mind?

We would like to push the project in the right direction with our contributions, which is why I would like you to coordinate on this or other helpful design decisions, when your time allows it. Just name it and we'll see what we can do ;)

I think highcharts per se is no problem, that is also available as commons or so. But it should be no big deal to replace that with d3 or something similar. Basically its just one file that is responsible for all graphing, as its rendered inside of iframes.

The license problem from the frontend comes from the bootstrap template that was utilized, so the complete html layout part needs to be replaced, not the graphic library.

Thanks for the information.

After some digging I think I found the template you used: https://wrapbootstrap.com/theme/smartadmin-responsive-webapp-WB0573SK0 Their licencing terms could be problematic (although I'm not an expert).

After some more digging I found: http://startbootstrap.com/template-overviews/sb-admin/ which is under the Apache Commons Licence. It really could take a while until I find the time, but I could try to have a look at the application and replace the current theme with the sb-admin theme unless you have something completly different in mind. :)
