FOIA implies public domain. That is do anything you want with it. ...and excludes GPL. My understanding from previous threads here is that the government cannot issue a GPL for FOIA software. CMS has chosen to consider VOE unfinished and thus excludable from FOIA, but only for the time being. > As an aside, has there been any confirmation that VOE will be released > into the public domain, or under any OSI compat license? Unless I'm mistaken, CMS will eventually be unable to release it as anything but FOIA, i.e. public domain. The CMS site used to say "public domain" but I cannot find that today. WorldVistA has chosen GLP for its own releases. Hopefully there will be some of those, someday. ;-) ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Tame your development challenges with Apache's Geronimo App Server.
