There is no dependency of openEHR IP on proprietary specifications of any kind - that is objectively demonstrable. The only reason I can imagine that openEHR's open licenced IP could have encountered problems in any European country is due to the presence of bureaucrats with an obtuse understanding of open source / commons licencing
+1, we all know that technologically the interoperability in the Health environment is feasible, what about people in Europe making decisions about it? Thanks to openEHR community and ISO13606 group, CIMI, HL7 FHIR archetypes... we are getting close to convince them... But we should not act like the bureaucrats. Regards. Carlos.

The answer is: UCL owns the IP rights and licensing conditions. Members of, participants in, openEHR gremia, do not. And that is why I call openEHR specifications proprietary. According to the definition of 'open standard', openEHR is an open Standard but owned by as single company. I know for certain that this fact prohibited serious business in some European countries, some years ago. Because of the licensing and dependency on proprietary specifications, the artifacts produced were not controllable by the user/customer. This was their reason, after legal consultation, not to use software based on openEHR specifications.
