John, The key issue is about the "secondary use" of data...not prime access to the dat through the vendor application, which, as far as I am aware is totally open, as it should be. The issue arises when data needs to be extracted for other purposes and some of the vendors have made parts of the data inaccessible for reasons that may be support related, or some other reason.
