i made this comment from practical experience of spending several years on the sql-ledger mailing list - it is amazing how much creative chartered accountants were able to tweak the software by working on the source code. I have also deployed custom accounting software in a live environment and believe me, it is exhilarating to watch the users developing and making most use of your code. I am not intending to flame you - this is the difference between the foss way of thinking and the closed source way
