   > Dear Yemdjih and All, I would like to know and understand the licensing breach. Kindly share a link for me to understand. Are there any other compatible reporting tools we can use other than pentaho? For a system not to have formatted reports, it will lose "steam" , we need a system with reports My Kind Regards Francis Guchie Kirago *Skype:* francisguchie *Whatsapp: *232 79 19 44 07 *LINKEDIN:* https://www.linkedin.com/in/francis-guchie-kirago-a4379617/ twitter: @francisguchie

Hello @francisguchie <https://github.com/francisguchie>, unfortunately this PR cannot be merged due to licensing breach. Fineract cannot ship with Pentaho. — You are receiving this because you were mentioned.

   Pentaho Reports is not allowed in any Apache project and Apache Fineract in particular because its license is a conflict for the Apache License. Read more here on licenses which can be allowed in Apache Software: https://www.apache.org/legal/resolved.html#category-x 
   
   Pentaho uses LGPL which is not compatible and legally not allowed in an Apache Licenses Software like Fineract.
   
   What we can do is get Mifos Intiative to run a hard fork of Fineract 1.x which has reports integrated and always pulling from the upstream Fineract 1.x version. That way we have one place for distributing a Fineract backend with pentaho support. Or everyone can run their own custom Fineract 1.x fork with Pentaho integrated.
