Hi Tom

It is normal practice with CC to include clarifications and the whole
structure of the license is designed to do this.

Let's stay with the issue of how we stop someone copyrighting and charging
for a specialised archetype? Or a template that is fundamental to health
care (like an antenatal visit)?

Cheers, Sam
