Again.

Answer the question ‘Who owns the specifications of openEHR, looking at the 
quotes I provided?
The answer is:
UCL owns the IP rights and licensing conditions.
Members of, participants in, openEHR gremia, do not.

And that is why I call openEHR specifications proprietary.

According to the definition of ‘open standard’, openEHR is an open Standard
but owned by as single company.

I know for certain that this fact prohibited serious business in some European 
countries, some years ago.
Because of the licensing and dependency on proprietary specifications, the 
artifacts produced were not controllable by the user/customer.
This was their reason, after legal consultation, not to use software based on 
openEHR specifications.
