Well, riddle me this.. and I just didn't fall off the turnip truck. Several board members of WorldVista also have a commercial interest in the success of VistA, along with a few outside commercial vendors who have the dough to throw at this immense project. How many code bases are there now

Perhaps I am wrong... wait... I know... hard to believe :) BUT My point about FOIA's "freeness" is that it is free, not open. That is why people take it modify it and make other products from it. If it where open...it would foster more development. Several people I know are interested in Ped

Several people (as in more than one but less than a billion) have written to me and said that a big reason that they do not participate, even though they are interested in VistA is the lack of an open license. In my previous post I mentioned something about wheels... we should be flying by now...
