FusionCharts
Developer Website: http://www.fusioncharts.com/
FusionCharts is distributed under a special OEM license for PHP Report Maker 5.

Note that FusionCharts and FusionCharts Free are two different products with entirely different licensing schemes. FusionCharts Free is completely free and covers all your basic charting needs. FusionCharts is a paid product with a wider variety of chart types and a host of advanced features. PHP Report Maker 5 does not support all charts in FusionCharts, see FusionCharts - Chart XML API for supported charts. FusionCharts DOES NOT include PowerCharts, FusionWidgets and FusionMaps. FusionCharts Free will still be used for Funnel Charts, Candlestick Charts and Gantt Charts.

IMPORTANT NOTE: When you use PHP Report Maker 5 with a registered license, you may deploy FusionCharts to your websites together with PHP Report Maker 5 generated scripts. However, you may not rent, lease, lend or sublicense FusionCharts. If you use the generated scripts and charts to build your web application as a product for public distribution or commercial sale, you may not re-distribute FusionCharts with your product, you must purchase your own OEM license for your product from the developer of FusionCharts, or you may re-distribute FusionCharts Free.
