I think that definition doesn't apply to a standard / spec. IMO when we talk about standards, we focus on the ability to use it and let others use it, and the constraints / freedoms in that area, not in who is the owner.

The definition of ‘proprietary’ according to GOOGLE is clear.proprietaryprəˈprʌɪət(ə)ri/adjectiveadjective: proprietary1. relating to an owner or ownership."the company has a proprietary right to the property"behaving as if one owned something or someone."he looked about him with a proprietary air"2. (of a product) marketed under and protected by a registered trade name."proprietary brands of insecticide"Originlate Middle English (as a noun denoting a member of a religious order who held property): from late Latin proprietarius ‘proprietor’, from proprietas (see property). On the openEHR website we all can read about the Legal Status.And that is clear, also.OpenEHR specs are owned by the company that is owned by UCL, only.

Some of these are due to general suspicion of open source licensing (and we can, I think, do more to alleviate this) but I am afraid some of anxiety is also caused by inaccurate and misleading information "openEHR is proprietary", regularly stated by a small number of individuals. I have had to ask for these to be corrected in a number of documents e.g. The SemanticHealthNet report where it was agreed by the principal authors, including Dipak, to be incorrect. Since a significant number of companies and national organisations now make use of openEHR specifications or artefacts, these statements are being regarded as commercially hostile and the Foundation Boards both agree that legal action should now be taken where the authors are not prepared to promptly correct this inaccuracy. Leaving that aside. I am not convinced that ISO is a good home for openEHR. The specifications, development and revision process in ISO remain completely closed and quite at odds withopenEHR principles but I would be interested in other's views. I do think that some sort of association with a formal standards body would help alleviate some of the anxieties you mention (though these are imaginary) but I am not sure that ISO would be my first choice as it is currently constructed. I will raise the issue of whether to submit AOM2 with the Management Board. I am interested in other people's opinions.

I have no reason to suspect this. But I know people who have such suspicions, and having the AOM-part as an ISO standard, surely will fight these rumors. I think it will help OpenEHR-implementations to have more customers.
