yes.<br>
<br>
It may also be possible to use that implementation according to the <br>
license under which it was released to have a drop in replacement.<br>
<br>
When I looked at the code, I saw a hint that this implementation is not <br>
thread-safe, see <br>
<a href="https://cgit.kde.org/kmymoney.git/tree/kmymoney/payeeidentifier/ibanandbic/bicmodel.cpp?h=4.8#n34" rel="noreferrer noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">https://cgit.kde.org/kmymoney.git/tree/kmymoney/payeeidentifier/ibanandbic/bicmodel.cpp?h=4.8#n34</a> <br>
and need changes to fix this.<br>
<br>
To change the license, for example to LGPL, you need to contact the <br>
author Christian Dávid.<br>

<br>
aqbanking uses file sets for each country (see <a href="https://github.com" rel="noreferrer noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">https://github.com</a><br>
/aqbanking/aqbanking/tree/master/src/libs/plugins/bankinfo/generic)<br>
<br>
$> rpm -q -l aqbanking | grep bankinfo<br>
/usr/share/aqbanking/bankinfo/de/banks.data<br>
/usr/share/aqbanking/bankinfo/de/bic.idx<br>
/usr/share/aqbanking/bankinfo/de/blz.idx<br>
/usr/share/aqbanking/bankinfo/de/namloc.idx<br>
<br>
and kmymoney uses sqlite databases for each country<br>
<br>
$> rpm -q -l kmymoney | grep bankdata<br>
/usr/share/kde4/apps/kmymoney/ibanbicdata/bankdata.ch.db<br>
/usr/share/kde4/apps/kmymoney/ibanbicdata/bankdata.de.db<br>
<br>
With gnucash I only found a dependency to ktoblzcheck, which means it <br>
uses different files for each country.<br>
