Impact on the use of GnuCash for Tax preparation in the US could be
profound. Looks like the US government is trying to head the same way as the
Brits.
Not how I read that article. It simply said that the IRS could not
develop/distribute free tax software. It said nothing about whether
anybody else could do so if they wished. That the government is
forbidden to do something is very different from saying that an NGO, a
non-profit, or for that matter a for profit company cannot do so.
There are LOTS of things forbidden to the government, some forbidden by
the Constitution let alone by statute, that are allowed to persons or
other entities with "personhood".
I know nothing about what the Brits or Aussies are but I seriously doubt
quite as you have been describing. For example, even there I doubt they
are saying that will make something available just to"for profit" entities.
