First, a little comment about site registrations: www.bugmenot.com

Second, an interesting interview I found via google for those that need some background on the main players in the drama:

So, they brought in a CEO they couldn't control?

You’ve got a big-name board chair in Ken Kizer. What attracted him to Medsphere?

Ken is one of my personal heroes and mentors. As we learned about VistA and the VA, it became apparent that he was the visionary and thought leader behind their intelligent use of healthcare IT as the enabler of massive quality improvement initiatives. Ken led the largest reorganization of any federal agency in the history of the US. He got everyone behind his vision and implemented an EHR in the largest healthcare organization in the country in four years. We called him out of the blue, two kids with laptops and a theme song out in California, and told him we’d love to get him involved. He’d left the VA by then and was a believer in IT as an enabler of quality. He wanted to get involved with us and we found a way for him to contribute.

Third, A question: What licence was attached to the bits of code that leaked?

Regards,
leews
