But I think you are still not understanding what some of us are saying.

WHAT "proprietary software alternative" (that you would buy and run on 
your computer) do you think I, for one, would not be able to alter?

What exactly is the Swedish Standard Board saying? That the software has 
only to be secure against LEGAL tampering? << by the usual license 
agreements for proprietary software not even legal for me to look at the 
software (disassemble it), run under control of a monitor to find 
exactly where it does things like password checking, etc. ---- people 
like myself can hand edit machine language >>

The problem with gnucash (with regard to Swedish regulations) would be 
that no special skills required to alter entries. Can be done WITHOUT 
messing with the program, editing data backups and then reloading, etc. 
<< BTW, that last might not even be illegal >>
