In Europe it might be different, but AFAIK non-approved software often can be used "under research protocol", which may require extra explanations to the patient, and the signing of some forms about agreeing to not sue the doctor. > In-house developments resting on the work of FOSS projects are > nice but is there a way those could contribute back to the ecosystem? At the least one would hope that they contribute back by bug reporting any maybe patches to the FOSS projects they use. > What if such are exposed as 'services' and not 'software/devices' -- > could then they be re-used within current legal framework(s)?
