Gerard, It is possible to reject non-free archetypes and replace them by free archetypes.
We have seen this mechanism many times, mostly the open standard wins, even when it is technically slightly inferior, the openness is much more important. Than the non-free-snake will often byte its own tail, and the open standard will become the market-standard. There is no need for discussing this issue, anyone can start immediately with creating free archetypes. But is it really the case that the published archetypes are non-free? Because the company-form cannot indicate this, we need to read the accompanying licenses. In the Netherlands IP-free materials must have a positive indication. Everything which has no indication must be regarded as non-free IP. Anyone have a clue about the archetypes form the OpenEHR-website?

But for commercial use things are not free. Can you give a link the the license which says so? Bert
