 * Dear,
 * It seems that this plugin does not provide the source code:
    [https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/chart-block/trunk](https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/chart-block/trunk)
 * which keeps one from reading/modifying/extending this block.
 * Since plugins are under GPL-3, could you please make source code available?
 * Thank you

 * Hello [@drzraf](https://wordpress.org/support/users/drzraf/)
    Source codes increase
   the zip file size which is not good for WP plugin specially for block plugin.
   in case of block plugin is is highly recommended to keep its file size minimum.
   Thanks

 * I’m obviously talking about the SVN tree.

 * The source code is NOT available in the code repository : Only compiled javascript.

 * Hi [@drzraf](https://wordpress.org/support/users/drzraf/),
    WP highly recommends
   that block-plugin should be lightweight. That’s why all source code are minified
   in dist folder. Thanks!

 * – The `dist` folder is not the source-code
    – Size is not a matter regarding 
   the repository (that’s actually the point of a VCS) – WP mandates plugins to 
   be under the General Pubic License – Said license grants users to right request
   the original source code (in a readable format)
 * On a side side, the source code is needed for the purpose of maintenance, extensibility,
   quality and security controls and basic freedom of usage of said software.
 * Thank you
