Incorrect licensing cause of ApexCharts? #1947

Description

This isn't a Feature request but didn't know how else to report it.

Flowbite-svelte is under MIT, but has ApexCharts as a dependency which is not MIT,
rather it's a dual licensing: https://github.com/apexcharts/apexcharts.js?tab=License-1-ov-file#readme

I believe this is incorrect, as using Flowbite-svelte for commercial use should be fine according to MIT (If I am not mistaken).
But ApexCharts does not (always) allow it.

My understanding is that Flowbite does not depend on ApexCharts directly, but the user has to install it themselves, meaning it's they who require it so it's up to them, and Flowbite itself it MIT just fine.

I noticed this when looking through my licenses with pnpm licenses list,
I don't understand licensing that well so I might be wrong about all this and apologize of that's the case.

Thanks:)!
