OpenEHDS Foundation is preparing its public launch. Explore the current workstreams, publications, and community entry points.

Licensing

This page summarizes how licensing is handled for the public OpenEHDS.org website.

Scope

The website contains three different categories of material:

  1. source code, templates, and technical configuration
  2. third-party components and libraries
  3. editorial content published by the foundation

These categories do not all share one single license.

Third-party components

The website is built on top of external open source components that keep their upstream licenses.

Main examples currently used in this service:

Where an upstream component includes its own license, notice, or attribution requirements, those upstream terms apply.

Foundation editorial content

Unless a specific page states otherwise, original editorial content published by OpenEHDS Foundation in this website is intended to be shared under:

  • CC BY 4.0

That means the content may be copied, shared, and adapted, including for public reuse, as long as proper attribution to the source is preserved.

Recommended attribution format:

  • Source: OpenEHDS Foundation, openehds.org

Exclusions

The content license does not automatically cover:

  • OpenEHDS logos
  • OpenEHDS name and brand identifiers
  • trademarks
  • third-party materials that may appear under separate terms

These elements remain subject to their own legal status unless explicitly stated otherwise.
