Richard Stallman designa GNU Health como paquete oficial GNU !

Desde el blog oficial de Luis Falcón (english version):
“Es un gran día para el Software Libre. Es un gran día para la Salud Publica”.
Esta fue mi respuesta a Richard después de que anunciara que GNU Health es un paquete oficial GNU.

Que GNU Health sea un paquete oficial GNU significa que es Software Libre en el mas amplio sentido del termino. No solo significa que se pueda utilizar libremente, si no que proporciona libertad al usuarios y que no tiene locks digitales. 
En el campo de la Salud este concepto es mucho mas importante. Los Sistemas de Salud e Información Hospitalario tienen que ser un bien publico, que no dependan de la voluntad de una empresa. Tienen que ser libre de cualquier lock-ins, para que el usuario que tiene el software pueda utilizarlo, adaptarlo y actualizarlo cuando lo necesite.
Por esta razón eligimos a Tryton  como framework para  GNU Health. Un proyecto  basado en la comunidad, libre de especuladores.
Quiero agradecer a Richard Stallman y al  GNU project, especialmente Karl Berry,  por incluir GNU Health y ayudarnos en el proceso de inscripción.

Por último, se están cambiando los sitios de descarga oficial. Los archivos de GNU Health estarán en:

– The European Open Source Observatory and Repository
– The GNU Savannah

GNU Health es parte de GNU Solidario ( http://gnusolidario.org/en ). GNU Solidario es una NGO que ofrece soluciones para la educación y la salud con el software libre.
Goviernos que acogen GNU Health en sus portales:

“It is a great day for Free Software. It is a great day for Public Health”.
That was my response to Richard’s announcement about making GNU Health an official GNU package.

Being an official GNU package means that it’s Free Software, in the widest sense of the term. Means that is not only freely available, but it provides freedom to the user, and it has no digital locks.

In Healthcare, this concept is even more important. Health and Hospital Information Systems must be a public good, that don’t depend on the will of a corporation. They must be free of any type of lock-ins. So, the user that has the software will be able to use it, adapt it, and upgrade it when needed.

That’s why we chose Tryton  as the GNU Health framework environment.A community-based project free of speculators.

I want to thank Richard Stallman and the GNU project, especially Karl Berry,  for including GNU Health, and helping us out in the registration process.

Finally, we are changing the official download sites. We will be hosting the GNU Health archives at :

– The European Open Source Observatory and Repository
– The GNU Savannah
