Re: FreeMedForms information
Hi everyone,
Good to have both sides of the story. As always if all license issues are
taken care of a fork is nothing bad.
owncloud/freecloud
OpenOffice/LibreOffice
freemedforms/freehealth
That is life.
Try to sort out any issues for the good of OpenSource.
Best wishes,
Sebastian
