Great news! Apache 2 is a good licensing choice, that is what we recommend for openEHR open source projects, although some contributors have felt reasons to use other licences.
Apache 2 for example makes it easier for some companies to allow staff to spend paid working time on improving industry/community-shared open source components that they use in their closed or open platforms. Nowadays I'd guess more openEHR software implementation work is done by business employees during paid time than by volunteers using their spare time. Having more ADL2 parsers does bring some extra benefits: - compatibility tests and discussions can clarify the specification if needed - more of the possible design space is explored by more teams that can learn from each other However having a dozen of open source ADL2 parsers would probably be a waste of developer effort. I think the same goes for archetype/template editing tools, having a handful of tools explores more options and brings up more good discussions than having a single one, but having too many would potentially be a waste of developer effort. If you want to, then please to tell us a little bit more about the context/product that you will be using the parser in. Best regards, Erik Sundvall Ph.D. Medical Informatics. Information Architect.
