And FreeDiams could be an external prescription module (it
currently already is, albeit with the French data only).

As a comparison in Germany, prescriptions can theoretically
be generated with the commercial drug database that we link
to. GNUmed just piggybacks on that databases willingness to
share some information. It wouldn't even be legal for GNUmed
to generate a prescription by itself.
