Is Medsphere betraying the open source community?

Is Medsphere betraying the open source community?Fred Trotter of GPL Medicine is unhappy about the behavior of Medsphere.

Medsphere is arguably the most famous VistA vendor. However, some in the VistA community have wondered why Medsphere, which touts itself as an open source company, has not released their improved code back to the community. I and other VistA community members have been concerned that Medsphere might have made a proprietary product around VistA. I have been publically commenting about this for quite some time.

Apparently, there's a nasty legal dispute under way between Medsphere and its founders. Trotter explains why he's on the founders' side. Go have a look at what he has to say.
