Re: [Gnumed-devel] How to get your own drug database into GNUmed

[Busser, Jim]

Might Germany or Brazil have professional doctor associations that would 
develop tables of available drugs as a service to their own members, for 
internal distribution?

I cannot see that *knowledge* of what exists, and which can be purchased:

        chemical name, brand name, strength, form

can be secret or owned, only the implementation, and if the association 
assembles its own then I can see no reason why it cannot freely provide it to 
its members (or, if the information is supplied by the drug companies, why it 
cannot be provided under a non-redistribution license)
