We hunted around for OSS POS software and didn't find too much. We did
find a couple of commercial packages that support Linux tho. Quasar was
one in particular that looked very nice, although the customer
eventually went with something else. (Long story...) At the very
least, it was much cheaper than $5000 and didn't seem to come with any
strings attached re. lifetime contract requirements or anything.
I did run across another commercial product that the company was moving
towards open-sourcing, but I can't find the emails now from the rep I
spoke with and can't remember the name. A google search on "linux point
of sale" should turn up at least one or two good hits.
