I'm just wondering if anybody else looked at this code or their license[1]?
License discussion stopped at [2], not clear if it the license is definitely rejected or not, my impression of the clause is that it doesn't mandate a splash screen, it just means you can't put attribution in small print. On the technical side, I found the project quite confusing at first because although it is open source, it is not conveniently distributed as a single source tarball, I had to build from SVN - and there are a dozen different SVN repos[3] relating to the project, which is itself slightly confusing. Once you know which repos to check out, it actually builds and runs very smoothly using the qt and postgres dependencies in Debian squeeze - all the notes about my experience with it so far in the ITP bug[4] It would also be useful for me to know which other accounting packages are popular in the free software community and whether people would use PostBooks if it was packaged. I tried GnuCash, but it seems more like the most basic version of Quickbooks or Microsoft Money. PostBooks genuinely offers many of the `Pro' features of QuickBooks or Sage, but appears a lot less complicated than a fully customizable solution like Adempiere, so I definitely think this fills a gap. 1. https://www.xtuple.com/CPAL 2. http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2007/09/msg00177.html 3. https://sourceforge.net/p/postbooks/code/14503/tree/ 4. http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=703645 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
