The license basically seems to be a "demo" license, considering the limit of 1,000 invoices or 2 users. Not a bad idea, really. Imagine a world where every company released their source code like this! Things would be very different.

It's not really "free" but is also very much "open source," as the source is completely available.

With those restrictions, Akaunting is definitely not open source, but it is source-available.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Source-available_software is explicitly not https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open-source_software ; there is a difference.
