> That may not happen immediately on release because the fabulous NHSX development team are all working hard on getting the product ready. But it will happen.

That's just annoying nonsense though isn't it?

There are reasonable (well 'ok they happen, whatever') causes for delay in open-sourcing something that didn't start out that way, but... Do any of them take more than seconds of developer time? They mean it 'may not happen immediately, because it's stuck in legal', surely?

The UK has passed the point of parody. If you want to justify any action, just say something about how great the NHS is before you do it.
