The lawsuit and countersuit between healthcare information technology systems developer Systems Corp., Aliso Viejo, Calif., and its two co-founders, Scott and Steve Shreeve, have been settled, ending an bizarre, 15-month legal battle in which a company that bills itself as a purveyor of software sued its own officers for releasing software to the open-source community... At issue was the posting of Medsphere computer code to [Source Forge].net, a popular Web-based platform for open-source development projects. At the time, [Steve Shreeve] was a member of the board of directors and was the company's chief technology officer. [Scott Shreeve] was its chief medical officer.

In 2006, [Fred Trotter], developer of the [Mirror Med], wrote about the lawsuit.

[Steve Shreeve] posted about the company mission at that time also. For a brief shining moment, Medsphere really was open source. That all changed with the subsequent termination of Medsphere's founding team and the filing of a $50 million dollar lawsuit against them. The was invoked by Board Member [Larry Augustin] to pull the source code and talk swirled about software -s on this open source code.

[Ken Hizer], who was at the time the suit was filed, left in May'2007. His replacement was [Michael Doyle].

was involved in the company way back.
