This software is for managing personal finances only and use of no more than
single currency is strictly recommended. Any use of this software in
business or multicurrency environment requires significant programming
skills in C and another obscure language that nobody else but gnucash
developers use. Breaking this rule may have an adverse impact to your mental
health and you may be destined to do your accounting by yourself until death
releases you.

I think if such a disclaimer is hanging on a visible place in frontpage it
will do.
