Specification document source files


WORK by openEHR Foundation is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License.

The use of the CC-BY-SA license allows for public sharing, republishing and forking of the specifications. This acts as a safeguard against subversion of the openEHR Foundation preventing the community using the specifications in a fair way.
The CC 'ND' (no-derivatives) option was also considered, which would protect openEHR users from specifications that have been tampered with, and republished by someone other than the Foundation. In fact this is what the W3C does with its copyright notice document license.
