Dear Ian, As I wrote you privately I promised to think over my use of words. Referring to my e-mail with the definition, as I used it, plus the quote from the openEHR website, it must have been clear that I was pointing at ownership of the openEHR organisation. I’m aware now, that ‘proprietary’ has an other, different, meaning, when applied to software or specifications. My original e-mail conveyed an unintended meaning, is my conclusion. Therefore I will no longer use the word ‘proprietary’ but the phrase ‘ openEHR as a company owned by UCL’.
