Also worth contacting Michael Legge and ask him to clarify the
licensing information for the the Australian request and reporting codes
at http://www.austpath.uow.edu.au/index.cgi - the former is
unsatisfactory, and the latter is just vague with respect to the
modifications that have been made to LOINC for Australian use.
I have previously stressed to Michael the need to resolve these issues
in a manner which is suitable for open source software.
