There was a recent post on the OSIRIX list that asked the question why
is OSIRIX not subject to FDA regs. The answer apparently is "if you sell
it installed" it is FDA regulated .... if you give it away it is not. I
have asked the people responsible for OSIRIX (BTW it is an open source
medical image viewer) to give me a more detailed answer which I will
share with this list when I receive it.

I understand the need to protect one's business investments. But it
was my understanding that the entire VI package was FOIA -- its just
that one would need to be careful not to cross the FDA in
implementations.
So the "import API" should be open source, and the "VI background
processor" should be open source too, I suspect.
What we need are people who understand the system and can explain it
-- or at least better than the usual documentation.
I suspect that there is money in the area on this subject and that is
why there is a tendency towards secrecy.

We all know how protective the VistA Imaging people are. I cannot share
anything I obtained because of the IA. Maybe legally I can. But I cannot
jeopardize our relationship with Silver Springs. So we take the most
conservative approach. The import API was released as a patch to the MAG
package. If it is out on FOIA you have it. But it is designed to work
with
the VI Background Processor.

anyone as that would be a violation of our IA with VistA Imaging.
I don't understand. If one has an IA with VistA imaging, then one is
not allowed to share code?
