Licensing requirements [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]

[Robert Merkel]

You are perfectly free to download and use Gnucash for any purpose,
including commercial purposes, at no charge, forever.

If you are a programmer (or want to hire one) to *modify* gnucash and
distribute the modified version outside your organization, then you need to
read the licence.

But as far as installation and use goes, there are no restrictions
whatsoever.
