Sebb created COMDEV-534:
---------------------------
Summary: 3rd party downloads not allowed by privacy policy
Key: COMDEV-534
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COMDEV-534
Project: Community Development
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Projects Tool
Reporter: Sebb
The projects.a.o website relies on Google charts.
AFAIK, we don't have a privacy agreement for these, and according to the terms
of use, they cannot be used downloaded and used locally:
https://developers.google.com/chart/interactive/faq#offline
Some possible solutions:
- use an alternative charting library that is not in conflict with the Privacy
Policy
- ask the user's permission before making requests to such 3rd party sites; if
the user refuses, charts and graphs cannot be displayed, but the site should
otherwise continue to function
- find some way of proxying the requests via an ASF host that strips out all
client-specific headers.
