Thanks for the post and links Robin. It is interesting that Canada and the National Health Service in the UK do not appear to be leading the way with FOSS in medicine while the capitalistic United States might be. -- IV

Relating to the quotes by Richard Alverez in the referenced article. There are prior articles on this issue with amplifying comments on LMN.

The question at the e-Health 2005 Conference that started the comments was reportedly asked by a member of the EGADSS team.

Cheers, Tim
