@vik What if the manufacturer is using software / components to which they don't have full rights themselves? Nobody builds anything "from scratch" any more, and many spaces (I don't know about medical) just don't have any open source tools to go with. If the alternatives are not entering the UK market at all, having to make a completely different, from-scratch version from a single country or pay ridiculous amounts for full copyright on every single part you use, the first option is the only ones that make sense. This has the potential of removing access to all medical devices instead of making them freely available.

@simon Whatever you end up doing, ensure you're properly crawled by archive.org in any case. Custom domains help with this, I've seen a platform throw a tantrum over their content being there when they went down and opt themselves out, losing years of valuable community history.
