I think this is a very helpful suggestion. We have trademarked openEHR and do not release anything without copyright as there is a need for an authorative publisher of archetypes. The openEHR Foundation will not accept any archetypes that are not free to use to be labelled with openEHR.

Cheers, Sam

I also note the "copyright (c) 2004 Ocean Informatics" on the archetype.
    

See http://www.openehr.org/about_openehr/t_licensing.htm for details of the licenses under which this and other openEHR material is distributed. A reminder: open source does not mean "no copyright" - in fact, the opposite: open source licensing relies on assertion of copyright and observance of copyright law. However, the copyright holder then uses an explicit license to grant additional rights to end users, as copyright law permits the copyright holder to do.

However, I think that it would be useful to provide a pointer to the licensing provisions in each and every archetype published by openEHR (and others) - make it part of the archetype metadata.
