The gnu-apl requires that any network users of a piece of software be
allowed to see the source code of the software they use.
Here's my problem: one of the core values of my new company is that
patients should be able to see the source code of the software they're
doctors use, so /all/ are assured of its quality. There is also a
feature in the software that allows patients to access their medical
records.
My concern is that, for the GNU-APL version, larger "corporate" doctors'
offices might just disable the feature and keep their modifications "in
house", violating the spirit of the license and the values of the
company. What I want is a license that provides that /all/ /the/
/people/ the software deals with must be informed of the fact that their
doctor is using xyz software, and they can see the source code here.
That would remove the incentive to disable that feature, while still
/allowing/ the company to disable that feature for other reasons, and
still force the company to share their mods with the users.
What do y'all think?
