1 sale, but 2 shirts! I showed them off at the Boston meeting where Iwegot
the story of the WorldVistA meeting out in Linux Med News before the
Associated Press even considered it! A real Scoop. ;-)

LMN was honored to have RMS specifically weigh in on the subject of
VistA licensing in November 2000:

He covered just about everything. Excerpt:
I am not a lawyer, but I have spoken extensively with lawyers about
copyright questions. Presuming that the VistA software is in the
public domain, if you combine it with a GPL-covered program you must
release the combination *as a whole* under the GPL. Using the VistA
code in this way is allowed because public domain status permits
practically anything.
However, the specific code that was in the public domain remains in
the public domain. In other words, the fact that person A released the
VistA code in a GPL-covered combination does not stop person B from
using the VistA code in some other way.
There's more, so please see the link. And have a good day, eat right,
exercise and buy a LMN T-shirt :-) Only 1 sale to date :-( Thanks
Nancy :-)

VistA is Public Domain, not Open Source, always has been, always (at
least
should) will be.

I would suspect that the license would have to come down to either
GNU
GPL or FreeBSD type-license. Now, deciding between the two: let the
games begin! :-)
