Banshee - For all your medical record needs?

I'm sure everyone's familiar with Banshee, the most awesome media player of all time ever ;) So, how does it feel to know it has expanded into the medical record field? Good eh? Next time you go to your doctor do you know what they'll be running? That's right, Banshee - Medical Record Edition. Check out its website here:

http://gnumed.org/index.html

The regular banshee website can be found here:

http://banshee-project.org/

It's fun to open both in tabs and switch between them.

Where's the attribution mandated by CC-By-SA?

Dude, you've got some nasty spam hidden in the bottom of banshee-project.org's source. Fortunately, GNUmed didn't copy that part.

A few fun things to note:

1. The license for the site layout is CC-By-SA. Where's the "By?"

2. On the feature list they have not changed the order of the icons at all. This puts "Forms and Letters" with the last.fm logo. Wonder how they feel about that...

3. Note this screenshot in their slideshow. They seem to like the site, but not the product.

And gauthierm is right, there's some nice drugspam on the Banshee site.

Well, just notice that GNUmed is supported on Windows. When shall we see a Banshee for Windows? Envy the Linux guys for so long.

Hi all,

Amazing. This issue has raised such interest. While I have repsonded immediately when I was first made aware of this issue a lot of people seem to be under the impression that GNUmed has nothing better to do than steal the design.

It is correct that the design was adapted under the impression that the CC license would apply. We are currently in contact with some guys from Banshee to resolve the issue.

Since we don't want to offend the rest of the FOSS community I have chosen to get the site offline until this issue is resolved.

If anyone is willing to help the GNUmed project with a new webdesign please let us know.

Regarding CC-By-SA. Take a look at the footer. It is all there.

Interestingly this copyright issue has doubled the website's views.

Hey,

It's not so much a copyright issue. Banshees website is under CC-SA. The thing is that you just copied/pasted banshees website onto your server and made *very* minimal changes. A google for "banshee gnumed" will show that pretty much everything is there... including banshee release notes. Even a quick look through the HTML shows a lot of references to banshee ;)

While the license most definitely does not forbid this, it is pretty unusual ;)

I'm just a bystander who found this pretty funny ;)
