rms did a great job with GPL, fighting copyright with copyright - though v3, with patent conditions, has not seen universal adoption (because too late? or a more fundamental problem?) A distinction with surgeons is their work is not reproducible at near-zero cost; so shielding affects only n surgeons, not all developers and their users (i.e. "most people"). Also, people generally don't die because developers can't code a particular technique. He might get a foothold in software in surgical equipment, but I bet the shield doesn't apply to them.
