No, to obtain them you must sign a contract with HIC, either as a doctor or as a developer. No source code.
They come as .jars plus some C libraries so you can call them outside of Java, Amazingly, they work on linux and I have written Python bindings (although the legal stuatus of these bindings is unclear, so I can't release them) I have spoken to the HIC's IT department who were suprprisely helpful. They are committed to supporting the libraries on Linux and are prepared to consider a special contract for open-source projects. I don't think they could be persuaded to open the code, but possibly allow us to bundle the .jars with a gnumed package. This means we need to amend the gnumed licence (that is, grant a specific exemption to allow this proprietary code to be used) There aredemand issues: most GPs I have spoken to about HIC Online or HeSA certificates usually reply with a stream of abuse about HIC. Horst, for example, bills all of his patients direct so has no interest in HIC Online. Ian
