I am virtually sure that when VOE is released it will be open source.

But is VOE open source? I don't know that I've ever heard it stated
that it was. I suppose one could argue that it's a deriative work under
the terms of GPL, but I never understood how GPL could apply to VistA
source, anyway, since it was obtained through the Freedom of
Information Act (FOIA). Yes, it's in the public domain, but that's not
the same thing.

I would say you are missing the whole point of an open source
development
effort such as produced VistA in the first place. But I assume you've
been
here long enough to understand that VistA is the product of the
community
within which it evolved. (How long have you worked in/for/with the
VA?)
I <expect> CMS to be clueless about this. I don't know much about
DAOU except
that someone there prefers a closed development methodology that
needs to
reach whatever conclusion it can... so that the community (this one
that is
sitting here on the runway burning fuel, waiting) can get to work on
continuing that evolution.
Is that what you're missing? That would surprise me.
