Hi Oliver Don't confuse Ocean Informatics, a commercial company which has put a lot of resource into the open source effort, with the openEHR foundation which is a multinational foundation which manages the openEHR specification. The openEHR spec is completely published and open as well as some of the tools. Ocean Informatics has developed some tools which are not yet open source and which are based on the openEHR specification. The lions share of the effort to get the openEHR specification to where it is has come from Ocean.
