Hi,
I think I have a suggestion for some better wording. See below.

How about:
The data file is currently in use. Most likely this means that the data
file was not cleanly closed (due to a crash) after it was last opened.
If you are sure that it is not currently in use by you or another user,
click "Open Anyway". Otherwise, click one of the other options.
Note to devs: does it make sense to put the gnucash PID into the lock
file and then check to see if that PID is currently running? That could
help detect whether there is a current process or a crash/unclean
shutdown?

I suppose that is one way to interpret it, as "currently in use".
