  • people need to think about the power to create performance metrics from our community 
Licensing Bahmni Code (20 min)
  • See Bill's comments on the talk thread (maybe I'm wrong, but I tried to present a simple understanding.  If I'm wrong, I'd like to know, so please respond w/ a brief comment on Talk)
Current OpenMRS policy and historical background:
  • The will of the OpenMRS was that, in order to maximize usage of OpenMRS, the posture was that if people make changes to the core code, those must be contributed back, but extensions above and beyond that may be licensed however you want. (Thus the choice of MPL which is a file-level license.)
  • Our contribution policy says that OpenMRS accepts all kinds of code, and would then redistribute (with permission) as MPL.
  • AGPL does not prohibit charging. Have to publish source code.
  • All distributed code will be MPL-HD-licensed
TODO - Paul will talk to Larry Rosen about the legal aspects of this and come back to leadership.
  • need to spell out the differences between the two licenses that are currently being used
  • and maybe the specific question Mike asked: "What if OpenMRS took 80% of the Bahmni code and turned this into a new Reference Application, that Bahmni would then later become a distribution of?"
