Thank you. I appreciate your comment.
That was my intention: to share an early beta of a local analytics
companion for GnuCash and get practical feedback from people who
understand real GnuCash workflows.
I am happy to move the discussion away from licensing arguments and back
to useful feedback: import correctness, data handling, performance,
reporting usefulness, and missing analytics views.
Regards,
Ars

Hello GnuCash Mailing List,
It has been interesting reading the comments regarding the Caldera
software. here is my two cents worth:
I have little interest in the FOSS vs free software debate. However,
as a long-time user of the wonderful GnuCash software, I have a strong
interest in information on tools that may enhance the GnuCash
experience. Caldera might well be one of those tools. Time will tell.
Can we lay the cudgels down, and perhaps step back and take a breath?
It seemed to me that the author of Caldera was simply throwing a beta
out there and asking for feedback. Is this a hanging offence?
As I said, just my two cents worth.

Liz,
Understood.
I did not intend to turn this into a licensing discussion.
Going forward, I will keep any Cashdera-related posts limited to
technical information useful to GnuCash users, such as import
behavior,
data handling, correctness issues, performance, and user feedback.
Regards,
Ars
