Hello,
First thanks for this nice library and your work.

Looking at:
https://github.com/nnnick/Chart.js/blob/master/LICENSE.md

Its content does not mention MIT License while this link mentions it:
http://www.chartjs.org/docs/#notes-license

I think it would be better to explicitely mention MIT to favor its usage even in commercial context.

Thanks

Hi,
Thanks I am aware of that but my problem is this one, why is it not MIT since it 's an exact copy.
You know legal issues are hard to think about.
Having a project that is MIt licensed is clear.
Having one under xxx license is not at all and could be an issue if the library is compared with another one for commercial integration.
