First and foremost OpenHIE is a community of practice! Our Contribution Policy is simple: No matter how you want to contribute voluntary contributions are gratefully accepted as long as the OpenHIE community and all downstream users are allowed to use those contributions for our public benefit mission.

OpenHIE accepts contributions such as documentation, images, or other creative works to be distribtuted under and distributes all contributions under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License.
If you have questions about any aspect of the OpenHIE Contribution Policy, please contact support@ohie.org.
Software
...
To date, the OpenHIE community works with various software organizations to develop and build conformance to the OpenHIE specifications. We encourage all tool builders to actively participate within the OpenHIE community, regardless of their business models (ie, open source or proprietary). We generally do not release software as a community product. Nevertheless, the development of community tools (such as conformance testing software) might be needed in the future, and those activities will be made available under permissive open licenses approved by the Open Source Initiative.
