Please note that these data:
- ATC classification
- ICD10 classification
- drugs database for Fr, Ca, Za, Be
are not released with a DFSG compatible licence and are copyrighted.
Unfortunately, the interaction data are linked to the ATC && ICD10
classification and this can be changed.

Also note, that the source package does contain all our code and that
files are 100% DFSG compatible (GPLv3, LGPL, PD, BSD-3-clause).
The datapack tool downloads raw source from the website's provider,
and transform the raw source to a FreeMedForms compatible database.

The **non-profit** french association, asso.freemedforms.com, provides
datapacks that can not be released with a free and open source
licence. The datapacks are built using the freemedforms project source
package. Anyone can do the same, they must inform the FreeMedForms
team of their intention to pack our data and manage themselves their
server and datapacks. The FreeMedForms team does only support non-free
datapacks provided by the asso.freemedforms.com.
