I think another option would be to integrate Fineract with some reporting solution that has an Apache-compatible license (e.g. BIRT I think is with Eclipse license) and port the existing reports from Pentaho. That might be the easiest approach.

Kindly share a link for me to understand. Are there any other compatible reporting tools we can use other than pentaho? For a system not to have formatted reports, it will lose "steam" , we need a system with reports My Kind Regards Francis Guchie Kirago Skype: francisguchie Whatsapp: 232 79 19 44 07 LINKEDIN: https://www.linkedin.com/in/francis-guchie-kirago-a4379617/ <https://www.linkedin.com/in/francis-guchie-kirago-a4379617/> twitter: @francisguchie <https://github.com/francisguchie> > … <x-msg://6/#> > On Thu, Aug 20, 2020 at 3:05 AM Yemdjih Kaze Nasser < @.> wrote: @.*** commented on this pull request. Hello @francisguchie <https://github.com/francisguchie> https://github.com/francisguchie <https://github.com/francisguchie>, unfortunately this PR cannot be merged due to licensing breach.

That way we have one place for distributing a Fineract backend with pentaho support. Or everyone can run their own custom Fineract 1.x fork with Pentaho integrated. > > — > You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread. > Reply to this email directly, view it on GitHub <https://github.com/apache/fineract/pull/1262#issuecomment-677626634>, or unsubscribe <https://github.com/notifications/unsubscribe-auth/AASJVCQCSIH42N4R22ENS6DSBUIGHANCNFSM4QFOIV4A>. > ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
