REMITT is a separate server, and the process of integration with a
PM/EMR system does not involve any code from the REMITT code base. In
fact, the reference implementation which exists in FreeMED is licensed
under the GPL, much like the rest of FreeMED. In theory, due to the
separate nature of the REMITT server, any project with *any* license
could implement the REMITT interface; it uses XML-RPC for
communication and is therefore programming language agnostic.
