Dear all,
After discussing with Nagarjun in a week end meeting (minits minutes
were posted on this list ) we have decided to change the license to afro
GPL.
While it is perfectly ok for the deskapp to stay on gpl version 3, the
web app which can be given as a cloud service must have the afro GPL.
So the current deskapp and core_engine will still be on gpl version 3.
We will be releaseing a docker based installer of the current stable
core_engine and the stable deskapp at the earliest (perhaps in another
week or 2 ).
While the core_engine will be a docker image the deskapp will be an all
inclusive jar file which the user can just click and start GNUKhata.
The current deskapp has been highly appreciated by many accountants as I
have mentioned earlier and we don't wish to keep them away from the free
software which they so happyly wish to use.
It may take some time for all distros of Linux to have the current
core_engine and Deskapp so docker wil be the way to go as we have found
out what we were missing in the last attempt.
This way the current version, which is a result of 18 + months of hard
work, will be available for all the users who have now started to ask us
for an installer.
So This will be a great news for all those who are waiting to use GNUKhata.
Happy hacking.
Krishnakant.
