BeansBooks

Accounting software is not something I like to think about, but thankfully someone is (and someone else).

I just received a message from System76 introducing BeansBooks, a “new, Open Source, cloud accounting platform” the company created.

It doesn’t seem easier than anything else I’ve seen that has “-Books” in the name, but it is open source and I learn stuff based on that alone. However, it is licensed under the BeansBooks Public License, which is obviously not a license I am familiar with.

I’ve opened a ticket with them, asking for a relicense with a more used and well-known license, or to at least explain how this license is like a different license. System76 sells computers with Ubuntu installed. I am not sure if they are ignoring the best parts of Ubuntu, or embracing the worst.

I was excited, then sad. :frowning:
