GIS: using open source or commercial products

Abstract: When health care is moved from the hospital into patients homes it is often
desirable to be able to map information geographically. GIS is a system for
doing this, and there are both proprietary and open source GIS softwares
available.

Explizit AB is a company in Skellefteå that has a product called CheckUp,
which basically is a suitcase with different medical instruments connected
to the suitcase.

Explizit AB wants to see if it is possible to use open source GIS solution
to build a system that for example can be integrated with CheckUp. This
report contains a investigation on the different open source licenses, what
difference the licenses has and how they affect a commercial product, and
describes the solution I built using only open source software.
