Open Source Point of Sale; license unresolved for public directory
Handle sales, receipts, customers, stock, expenses, and basic shop reporting.
What it helps with
Open Source Point of Sale is a PHP/MySQL web application for register sales, quotations, receipts, customers, suppliers, inventory, expenses, taxes, gift cards, restaurant tables, and reports. A small retailer or café could operate it with appropriate hardware and local configuration. However, the repository’s license is not plain MIT: it adds a mandatory visible, unmodified footer on every page. That custom condition makes the source’s SPDX MIT, “white-label,” and OSI-only inclusion claims unresolved and potentially misleading.
Best fit
Best for a technically supported shop willing to retain the required attribution; not for white-label/resale or public listing under the current two-badge model.
Setup reality
Needs developer; production needs PHP/MySQL, web server, build/release files, mail, peripherals, tax/receipt setup, backups, security and upgrades.
License context
Permissive licenseBusiness use and modification are generally allowed. Keep required notices and review trademarks, dependencies, and hosted-service terms.Custom “MIT terms with an important addition”; no safe SPDX assignment; use is permitted only with the mandatory visible footer and notices; do not label MIT, white-label-ok, or “no strings” without legal review.
