After watching Revolution OS,a movie that shows proponent views for free software, it turns out that, besides political movements, there are also software movements. Like the other social movements - I agree only with some parts of their philosophy - you cannot say that the open source movement is completely right. Suggesting that all software should be open, seems to say that all hospitals should be work like Red Cross.
In my opinion, proprietary software increases competitiveness and perfection of the product. On the other hand, free software movement pushes other companies to realize that some policies have to be improved, and gives opportunity to those who can't afford expensive products.
Very soon Tyler and I are starting working on a part of OpenMRS project that consists of displaying a patient's piece of data - that has a lot of information - with an appropriate link.
