Beaut, done.

What does the second part of this mean?  Is there also a non-free
version of bokin?  Or do you mean simply that commercial use of bokin
is permitted?

Is that for normal operation, or only to install?  I don't think we
bother mentioning "make" if it's only needed for installing.

This means that I developped this software for a business purpose,
that is, to aim at earning. BOKIN model is a business model of obtaining
proceeds by widely collecting donations while distributing free software.
Now I'm writing 'The BOKIN Model Definition' to clarify it.

The name BOKIN has two meanings:
bookkeeping (BOokKeepINg) in English
collecting donations (BO=collect, KIN=money) in Japanese.

> Is there also a non-free version of bokin?

No, there isn't.
I won't release non-free version of it.

> Or do you mean simply that commercial use of bokin is permitted?

No, I don't.
Since BOKIN is free software, everybody can use it for any purpose.

GNU Make is used not only for the installation but also for the accounting
calculations. GNU Make is useful for batch based systems like BOKIN.

I'm sorry for my late reply.

Ew, sounds messy to use make for application logic (IMO it's already
messy enough for build systems ;).

I say a little for the honor of Make.

Make is a program which generates specified target based on the generation
rules described in Makefile; The target need not be a program.

An excellent software can be used for the purpose which the author
was not assuming. Make is such software, I believe.

More about this matter, please mail to bug-bokin@nongnu.org. :)
Thank you!

Yes, I don't do dispute that Make can be used for many things, but
that doesn't mean it's a clever idea. For instance, Make lacks any
type system, which makes programming more complex things in it a major
PITA, IMO.
