Grahame, thanks for this, it's very useful. Some questions...
*Controlling Conformance*: CC-0 just means 'public domain', no copyright. How do you exert any kind of control (which you mention) over the conformance not being messed with? Is it just that 'FHIR' is stamped on everything, and trademark protection actually defines the rights of use? In which case, aren't we talking about some other piece of legalese to do with the trademark, that defines when something could have a 'FHIR' trademark on it? *Copyright*: I don't see any harm in having a copyright notice if the original author(ity) demands it, e.g. Nehta is like this. Copyright is kind of useless in the land of software and formal models anyway, it's the licence that counts. *Attribution*: Current thinking has been that if archetypes are copyrighted to whomever, the licence-to-use would require attribution, which just means listing authors. I think the value here is that artefact users know that wide consultation and expertise went into the artefact. Consider for example the BP archetype in CKM: Would't that 'contributors' list disappear under the new FHIR approach? I think that would be a problem for openEHR - the contributors list is the main way that users can get some idea of the quality of the thing. - thomas On 02/10/2014 14:05, Grahame Grieve wrote: > hi > >> we should certainly examine the discussions you have had in FHIR-land. > The discussions were all private threads, but I can give you a summary > run down.
