The computer
code behind RPV is 'open source'. This means that anyone can see, modify, and use it. There are many examples of successful use of open source approaches in mainstream computing. Many believe that it could lead to much better, more versatile and rapid coopoerative development of good technology in healthcare. It could save a load of money too, and prevent healthcare organisations being locked into systems that communicate poorly with other systems.
RPV was one of the projects at
nhshackday in April, and will very likely feature again in their planned second meeting in Liverpool in September.

Actually, it is perfectly fine to sell or resell it. But you can't stop the users from selling it, or reselling it.
