I mistyped Björnke’s name; it is “Björnke von Gierke"

(AnimationEngine was reporting a similar error which I was able to fix since the scripts are open.)  ChartsEngine is, however,  locked. Originally written by Malte Brill, the current owner is, I believe, Björnke von GierkeI. I’ve tried contacting him but haven’t heard anything. Anyone else pondering this issue? I use chartsEngine in two commercial mobile apps so I’m hoping to work out a solution rather than rebuild the charting layout portion of these apps once building with 10.x versions of LC is required.
