Re: FDA Validation a Threat to Free/OSS?
by Elmer Fittery on Wednesday April 02, @11:07AM

I am working a contract at BioMerieux in St. Louis, MO. The device they are developing software for is based on the embedded OS - RTXC 3.0. The current version of RTXC is 3.2. Anyhow, all software tools are required to be validated. This doesn't apply to just LINUX/GNU open source software, but also to things like Word, Excel, Emacs, VI, etc.... IMHO, the idea that a tool like Word needs has be validated is redicilous. Focus should be on the application and not on tools used to develope an application. Focus on testing the functionality of the software. JMHO.
