Ok, I think we are talking past each other. Here is a page from Ocean Informatics. http://oceaninformatics.biz/CMS/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=26&Itemid=36 It lists the products which very clearly state that they are based on openEHR. Now assuming I buy one of these products what license have I agreed to? Do I get the sourcecode? Do have the share the sourcecode? If I used these tools to make a clinical application would I be able to release the source code? More importantly were is the website on Ocean Informatics that permanently answers these questions? As to where you are... you are on a list that strongly favors open source software, in that context it is reasonable to have to answer these kinds of questions carefully. -FT -- Fred Trotter http://www.fredtrotter.com [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
