Description
Hi!
Highcharts is not a real Free Software/Open Source project, because it disallows commercial use.
IMHO, you should replace Highcharts with a real Free Software/Open Source project, such as:
- Plotly.js (MIT license)
- Chart.js (MIT license)
- D3.js (Modified BSD license)
- Vega (Modified BSD license)
- Taucharts (Apache license 2.0)
- jqPlot's (MIT license)
- etc

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are mentioned. Start by inspecting the plugin's current Highcharts integration and define the replacement scope; done would mean replacing it with a suitably licensed charting project without breaking the plugin's chart behavior.
