Re: [CK-Ledger-users] Dire warnings

[C K Wu <ck...@ho...>]

Perhaps I'll take this opportunity to explain why the index page is 
written as it stands. It is my firm belief that users of open source 
software should choose to use such software knowing fully the risk 
involved. If they do pay to have a system integrator (SI) to install the 
software for them, then they are paying for the SI's installation 
service, not the software itself. So, they need to be informed of the 
fact that the software comes with no warranty, bugs are inevitable, etc, 
etc, ..... If the SI provides any post-sale service, or any guarantee 
thereof, it should be stated in a separate document. If the index page 
appears scary, it is meant to be so.

I would also like to highlight one of the conditions listed on the index 
page,

"??? is GPL software. If you display this -- Welcome to ??? -- page 
exactly as it is, or display this same page's translation (into a 
different language), without loss of meaning, then you may redistribute 
and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as 
published by the Free Software Foundation."

If you are re-distributing CK-Ledger and/or selling any product derived 
from the CK-Ledger source code, this requirement is a condition that you 
must abide by. If you don't, it is a SERIOUS BREACH of CK-Ledger's 
distribution license.

Cheers,
CK
