I might point out in all this hand waving, that no one puts a contract 
out for bid, without specifying the performance required to do the job, 
which we aren't privileged to see. A description of what it must do, 
should not be a copyright probem as its is part and parcel of the "clean 
room" description the coders work from. That and what you might be 
willing to pay a competent programmer to do might sweeten the project 
enough for a free software developer to do. These people here are doing 
it to aid the free software environment, doing it for our thanks, but 
they like to be able to eat and pay the rent. like TANSTAAFL, it is not 
optional.

The OP's choice is not to do that specification. If that spec is 
forthcoming, and doable with the tools we have you may pique someones 
interest. They in turn may contact you privately with an estimate/offer. 
  But w/o that spec, so the coder knows for sure what it must do, 
circular without any solution will be this thread. We may even already 
have a POS system you could use. I know for a fact one of the local 
grocery stores here in this village of around 6000 is running something 
on linux in the checkout lanes, I saw it boot up after a power failure 
before the actual app was auto-started.  What that app was, no one had 
been instructed as it was totally auto starting.  Typical of the 
checkout lanes I suspect.

FWIW that coder isn't me, my coding heyday was in the later 70's thru 
about 2002. Now I'm 89 and retired for 22 years, diabetic for 40 years, 
chest full of hardware, running on what some might call borrowed time.

Cheers, Gene Heskett, CET.
