| Proprietary health IT has plenty of representatives here, but open source has

| IT is still within the power of the President to direct and control.

,----[ Quote ]
| The solution to the problem of flexibility lies in free and open source
| software. India has already adopted open source approaches in administrative
| systems and education projects. This represents a good policy foundation on
| which to build a national eHealth system. It could, for a start, leverage the

| applications and then the consumer space, is now pointed directly at the

| Veterans Administration, is once again an open source movement with word that
| DSS, its biggest commercial licenser, is switching to the Eclipse Public
| License.
