I don't have much knowledge of what do and don't for GPL.
> Hello everyone. I wanted to tell you about an important change with
> the
> ongoing accounting/general ledger (accountingext) development in
> OFBiz.
>
> We will soon be releasing most of the files in the accountingext
> repository to the main OFBiz accounting component. This would
> include
> screens and services for managing invoices and payments; configuring
> internal accounting organizations; printing checks and invoices as
> PDFs;
> and posting transactions to the general ledger.
>
> A small minority of the files, responsible for posting transactions
> such
> as invoices, payments, inventory changes, and returns to the general
> ledger; generating financial reports such as trial balances, income
> statements, and balance sheets; and user and technical documentation
> will be transferred out to a separate Open Source Strategies, Inc.
> repository. We will then continue the development of a full featured
>
> "Financials" module, which would include ledger postings, financial
> reporting, and traditional AR/AP, in this repository. This
> Financials
> module will be fully compatible with OFBiz, using the same entities,
> architecture, and tools.
>
> We will be releasing this repository under both GPL and commercial
> licenses within the next few days. You will be able to access the
> repository for a download, and as soon as it is stable, we will be
> making a release. Currently, for example, the returns posting is not
>
> working properly due to the large re-factoring of the returns feature
> in
> OFBiz we're doing.
>
> What does this mean? I hope this would mean the following:
>
> 1. You will have access to a free accounting application that is
> fully
> integrated with OFBiz.
> 2. The availability of an accounting application should help OFBiz
> adoption.
> 3. We will hopefully be able to fund its ongoing maintenance and
> development through the sale of commercial licenses, in addition to
> sponsored development and community contributions.
>
> We're currently setting up a repository and moving files into it. As
>
> soon as it's ready for access, I will write with the access
> information.
>
> Thanks,
