GPL / FDL equivalent for medicines won't be about packaging. It would be
about giving people the complete recipe, not just the ingredients,
showing them how to make it, and letting anyone, anywhere, make that
medicine, at whatever price and sell at whatever price, or even
free-of-cost, to whoever, anywhere in the world, on a doctor's
prescription if essential.

we will thus have a world where medicines for the really poor and the
really sick, versus pimple-creams for the rich and pimpled, will happen.

the packaging can be whatever way, it will just say this produced using
these ingredients, formula, counter-checked, verified, and certified to
be so by this authority, and sold at this price, with this expiry
details and other mandated text.
