First, James, please don't "reply" if you're starting a new thread. 
Create a new message from scratch.

Second, when you respond to a message in a digest, please change the
subject to be the subject of the specific message you are replying to, and
please cut down all the rest of the messages.

Third, having said that, the GnuCash LICENSE file (which is what I am
assuming you are reading) explains under what terms the GnuCash code is
distributed (in short: GPL).  As a user of the program, I don't think you
need to understand it fully; it's more about the restrictions on
re-distribution and downstream changes, none of which apply to you.

Happy GnuCashing,
