I am afraid that what you're asking is beyond our ability to help because
it's about a different product, akaunting.  If you are interested in using
the akaunting product then you should reach out to them for support.  This
email list is for support of GnuCash.

Having said that, it looks like Akaunting is distributed under the GPLv3
License.  You can find more information about GPL3 at
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_General_Public_License

Good Luck,

I think the best way to answer your question would be if you showed us
exactly what you're reading and asked the question about what you need to
understand.  Keep in mind that none of us can see what you're seeing
(unless you send a screenshot) and none of us know what you're thinking or
wondering unless you tell us.

To answer the question:  Is there a license to use the GnuCash program? 
The answer, in short, noting that I am not a lawyer and this is not legal
advice, is "yes -- you can use it for free for anything".

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,
