From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

It's cause Epic/McKesson has complete control over the EMR world so everything has to work with them to some degree.
GNU health is great but I haven't seen where it could support the massive amount of legal and monetary hoops that Epic and co have to jump through as well.
For some reason there just isn't a lot of volunteer efforts/space for open source development in the healthcare world.
