No worries. We will not agree to anything that would impair gnumed's 
international intentions. We will not accept any funding that would 
constrain us in that way either.

Getting a *generic* industry independend drug database like the Australian 
Medical Handbook would be invaluable even for other countries (after all, 
Amoxycillin here in the same Amoxycillin as in Germany). This is even more 
valid for decision support integration

The only thing that probably will happen is that the Australia specific 
gnumed extension modules will get a temporary priority in order to get at 
least one working (showcase) version out soon.
