First a point of clarification...WorldVistA is an organization (not for
profit).

The reason that it is an "interesting" question is that it is quite
possible that there is VistA code in commercial offerings such as SMS
given that many commercial solutions are based on MUMPS, and the fact
that VistA has been available through FOIA for many years. But  there is
really no way of knowing the answer unless you have access to the source
code which of course is not available for scrutiny.

With public domain software such as VistA there is no obligation at all
to credit the original author...which is a pity because the VA certainly
deserves the recognition. Maybe with all the positive press VistA has
received lately we'll begin to see "VistA Inside" slogans cropping up
:-).
