At the point where any non-profit foundation would "own" gnumed would come the
issue of that foundation being subject to legal attack (justified or not) over
gnumed issues.
However I think if GNUmed is to be truly successful then sooner or later this
birth (or growing pain, whichever metaphor best applies) would need to be gone
through.
I was looking at Debian
http://www.debian.org/doc/FAQ/ch-contributing.en.html
then the link (under 13.3.1) to Software in the Public Interest
http://www.spi-inc.org/about-spi
http://www.spi-inc.org/projects/spi-projects
and I wondered therefore about the possible baby-step of becoming an Associated
Project
