So, (IANAL) if I read2.1(b) correctly then this means that the Google
Health API cannot be included in ANY open source software that may be
available for distribution outside of the United States?
I would appreciate clarification on this; especially since it was known
by yourself and others at Google Health that I planned to include the
API in OSHIP. http://launchpad.net/oship
From my perspective, I'd like to see this wording changed. The reason
being that if Google (probably for legal reasons?) wants to/needs to
restrict access to Google Health to US only locations then I am fine
with that. However, there are many ways that this can be done and
still allow the inclusion of the API in global open source projects.
Thanks,
Tim
