Well, I'm still waiting to hear from the openEHR Foundation Board
(officially) on this issue since they are the only governing body we
have.

I'm not personally concerned with the notice you pointed out because my
re-use strictly adheres to items 2&3.  However, commercial
users/developers such as Ocean Informatics may or may not be in breach
of that license.  That is for the Foundation Board to decide.  There
does seem to be some conflict with some of the content notices and
licenses regarding commercial use though.  It basically depends on where
you look on the website.

The openEHR Foundation, as a legal entity in the UK (and the web site
claims globally), supported by CHIME/UCL and Ocean Informatics I assume
have sought proper legal counsel?
