docs(license): correct the apexcharts MIT boundary and record the OEM gap - #3240

… gap
Two corrections to the note added earlier today.
1. The MIT boundary is 5.1.0, not 6.0.0. Measured per version:
4.7.0 MIT, 5.0.0 MIT, 5.1.0 'SEE LICENSE IN LICENSE',
5.2.0 'ApexCharts License', 6.0.0 and 7.0.0 likewise. So the last MIT
release is 5.0.0, and the earlier note understated how far back the
proprietary line starts.
2. The revenue threshold is not the nearest trigger. The licence also
requires a paid OEM/Redistribution licence for 'embedding ApexCharts into
a product or platform used by other people', waived only if the app
'simply renders static charts and users cannot configure or interact with
them'. RegisterDetail.vue and SchemaDetails.vue both set
toolbar: { show: true } and zoom: { enabled: true }, and this app is
distributed to third parties through the Nextcloud App Store, so the
exemption does not apply on its face.
Conduction being below USD 2M settles the Community tier for its OWN use. It
does not settle redistribution. The note now says so rather than reading as a
clearance.

Two corrections to the note added earlier today, one of them material.
1. The MIT boundary is 5.1.0, not 6.0.0
Measured per version:
MITMIT← last MIT releaseSEE LICENSE IN LICENSEApexCharts LicenseSEE LICENSE IN LICENSEThe earlier note said 6.0.0 and understated how far back the proprietary line starts. Anything above 5.0.0 is licensed.
2. The revenue threshold is not the nearest trigger
The licence separately requires a paid OEM / Redistribution licence for:
waived only if:
Both chart views set the charts to be interactive:
and this app is distributed to third parties through the Nextcloud App Store. So the exemption does not apply on its face.
The Community tier also lists "sublicensing under different terms" as not allowed, which is worth a look given this app ships under EUPL-1.2.
What this does and does not settle
Conduction being below USD 2M settles the Community tier for its own use. It does not settle redistribution. The override text now says that explicitly, so it reads as a recorded open question rather than as a clearance.
Not changing the dependency here — that is a licence decision (stay on 7 with an OEM licence, or drop to 5.0.0, the last MIT release). Raising it for the maintainers.
