I think this’s practical since it’s very beneficial to let more users know about ECharts by the watermark. But for better user experience, like highcharts(https://api.highcharts.com.cn/en/highcharts/credits.html), we might consider adding a new global option named `copyright` or `credits` or some better others, which allows the developer decide whether the watermark should be displayed and how the watermark should display.
