Nancy, can always be trusted add to the discussion. I'm just a country doctor here on the west coast of Iowa, but Medsphere's application says Filing Date: November 26, 2003 A press release (dated July 31, 2003) from the Pacific Telehealth and Technology Hui seems pertinent: http://www.pacifichui.org/media/press_releases/HuiOpenVistaInterest.pdf Quoting Steve Shreeve's words at that time: "The Hui has served as a catalyst in the creation and dissemination of OpenVista as the first open-source, enterprise healthcare information system available in the healthcare market," said Steve Shreeve, Medsphere CEO, "Funding the development and technology transfer of OpenVista has opened the door to multiple opportunities for our company, the open-source community and healthcare organizations worldwide." Steve seems to be saying that the Hui funded the creation and dissemination of OpenVista in which his nascent corporation participated... so how does that lead to his <<owning>> the name OpenVista? I would expect exactly the opposite. regards, jlz exclusive owner of "Gra'paZ OpenVistA" ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
