The Eastwood Chart Servlet (an independent and open source implementation of Google’s Chart API) has received quite a bit of interest in recent weeks, with some new developers offering patches, and a lot of companies sending requests for clarification of the licence terms. This demand seems to be driven by the fact that businesses like the convenience of the Google chart service, but can’t or won’t send their data across the web to Google for processing. That issue can be nicely sidestepped by deploying the Eastwood Chart Servlet on a local server, and directing chart requests to Eastwood instead of Google.
