[GNC] Cashdera 0.2.0 release

[Kalpesh Patel]

Why don't you release Cashdera as FOSS?  

The copyright notice caught me off-guard as well, as my main understanding is/was that this list is for FOSS based gnucash and contribution that embodies spirit of FOSS. FOSS application data can generally be used in proprietary software, but that breaks the spirit of adhering to FOSS and specifically how this board operates.

The major dismay felt here is that the initial post coming across was really contrary to the spirit, and it wasn't abundantly stated as closed sourced upfront until reading T&C.

FOSS is freely discussed here. You said Cashdera is not FOSS.
