Jeff and Andreas,
 There is also a license difference between FreeB and REMITT. FreeB is
GPL while REMITT is MPL (mozilla public license). Contrary to what
REMITT.Org says (http://www.remitt.org/license.html), MPL is not
compatible with GPL. (http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/license-list.html)
Thanks for this hint.

 I bring this up because REMITT and FreeB have the potential to be widely
used and incorportated in many free EMR in the future. Usig MPL may impede
incorporation of REMITT into official Debian
There is no reason to exclude any MPL licensed programs from Debian because
the MPL itself is free.

and it could turn out that we
need to continue to use and develop FreeB because of the license
difference.
It might just influence other programs that would like to use REMITT but
are not allowed to do so - but this has nothing to do with Debian.

Kind regards

         Andreas.
