Authorization for commercial derivative work of GnuCash Tutorial and Concepts Guide

[Ted Creedon]

best thing to do is to prototype a sample & submit for approval.

A hardcopy must have an accompanying website for source code editing.

Look at Broderbund.

If a derived work has the same "look & feel" as gnucash, its is infringing.

Yes of course, he could not do THAT, actually incorporate it. I was
responding to what appeared to be a broader interpretation of what he
could not do. That's because I can see how he could accomplish (much,
probably all) of what he says he wants to do without being in
non-compliance.
