Wanna stop basically everything commercial related? AGPL

The whole business of the company I work for, and of the large network of peers around the world, is built around a piece of AGPL licensed software called OpenERP[1].

In other words, my paycheck disagrees with you :)

Just to poke a little fun at you, Most ERP softwares are not well-known for being exactly understandable by average developer, and is known to be consultant-based business so much that it is hardly possible to learn it without paying for consultant.

It's just another way of being proprietary by obscurity.
