Dear all,

I checked www.openemr.net and it is not possible to download the source code.
Therfore, we should definitely update our web page.

Here is the patch which would do it:

--- practice.wml~       2007-03-06 17:56:15.000000000 +0900
+++ practice.wml        2007-03-06 17:56:47.000000000 +0900
@@ -113,7 +113,7 @@
 
 
 <project name="OpenEMR"
-  url="http://www.openemr.net/";
+  url="http://www.oemr.net/";
   license="GPL">
   <p>
     OpenEMR is a Free, Open Source medical clinic practice management and

(but I can not commit myself).

There is one thing which I wonder whether we should check before doing the
change, however: on www.openemr.net, the title of the webpages include a TM
trademark sign. If ITD Unlimited really owns the openEMR trademark, we should
better remove the entry instead, however unfair it is to the free project...

If it is confirmed that this is a hostile fork which purpose is to circumvent
the GPL, the most efficient way to help oemr.net would be in my opinion to
package and distribute their product before the gpl-violating project
establishes its user base. However, this looks like a lot of work.

Have a nice day,
