The NHS is planning to move from an open source software development model to a closed one due to fear of Mythos. As far as unintended consequences go, this is a big one, it's terrible, but it's not entirely surprising. The PR around Mythos has been threatening that the sky is falling, the world is ending, and millions of vulnerabilities will be found in the coming months (or even weeks) - so, is it really surprising that some organisations are making knee-jerk reactions?
Now is a time for level heads and proper analysis, not knee-jerk reactions. "Keep calm and carry on" for lack of a better meme.
Given that the sky probably isn't about to fall in on us, if you're in the UK please sign the petition at https://keepthingsopen.com urging the NHS not walk back on their commitments to open source.
I also recommend the blog post "NHS Goes To War Against Open Source" by @Edent on this subject: https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2026/05/nhs-goes-to-war-against-open-source/
