The fact that objections to using CC-BY-SA were openly declared on the mailing lists, but not properly answered before the decision by the board to adopt CC-BY-SA, makes me wonder how the decisions in the board are made with respect to response from the community. In a (mostly off-list) mail debate from August 2008 and in the (on-list) debate from September 2009 (referenced above) I sensed that Sam Heard (who is part of the board) had some strong undefined feeling that CC-BY-SA would be more beneficial top to the openEHR community, but he could not make a strong case for it when confronted. Is the case that Sam or somebody else has later presented strong arguments to the board that could not and will not be presented to the community in the mailing lists or on the wiki? If arguments can not be presented openly, then the risk increases that people suspect the board or some of its members to have hidden agendas, and that is a bad thing for an open project like openEHR.
